Sometimes HTML will suffice; sometimes it will NOT, which is why I still
keep a free copy of Eudora on my machine! Actually, now that you've told me
Mail can do format=flowed, I will use that instead of Eudora when I need it.
And although HTML may suffice for some purposes, it is always more wasteful
of bandwidth and disk space than plain text. I'm a plain text junky, Paul;
sorry.

There is a bit of a "Let them eat cake!" attitude about that, Paul. Just
because you and I are on the bleeding edge, not everyone is. I've run into a
number of people still using Emailer recently. I know a good number who have
old PCs using Windows 95. I think HTML should be avoided in email unless
absolutely necessary, and I will continue to lobby for format=flowed into
order to give me another way to avoid using HTML.
