If a writer uses bold and italic for emphasis, like I added to your
statement above, it's not your place to remove that and strip his text
of meaning and context.
If a writer uses bold and italic for emphasis, then I won't see it.
Yes, and then when you send it back, especially if that formatting had a
reason, it will look like plain text ass. Because nothing matters more
than PLAIN TEXT UBER ALLES
Sometimes, the plain text people, a cult you sound like.
Not a cult, just someone who has a choice - read the plain text part or
deal with the completely ridiculous choices that most HTML composers make.
I won't see the emphasis because I don't view the html. 99% of the HTML
messages that I *have* seen contain zero user-selected formatting. All they
achieve is making the text too small for me.
Of course, if HTML composition were always done right, I'd change my
preferences. But it almost never is, so I don't.
An option to trust the html for selected senders might be nice. Keyed on
the X-mailer: header would be useful.
