hello everyone.
why are some people so keen to post in HTML? Have you ever seen what an
HTML mail looks like on a mail client that doesn't support it? Never
mind the extra dialup charges, do you have any idea of just how many
people can't *choose* their mail client (students, academics, people who
can't afford/ don't want a 'better' computer)? Maybe your words of
wisdom would be better off as a Web page?
you *could* say:
here is my post in HTML http://somewhere.org/post.html
just a thought
cheers
