I suppose we'll have to accept it, eventually, especially as so many
people use browsers, webtv or MS products as email clients. I still
don't like the waste of drivespace, so I filter html and any other
attachments from going to my majordomo based list. I also consider
it a courtesy to my foreign subscribers, many of whom pay for their
net connection by the minute.
When the messages bounce to me, I write the person and tell them to
switch to plain text, if they want their posts to go through.
