Hi,
Just felt i suppose like agreeing. Nothing more frustrating than
recieving a email from someone who thinks they are being so informed
that is formatted wrong so that it is all <HTML> tags. That is rm
without hesitation. What i found amazing is that the people sending
this info get so indignant when you politely ask them to refrain from
a public forum per se. Have even found that suddenly these individuals
feel that we those that use plain text are behind. Ever heard of the
right tool for the job i often think to myself? Anyways it would be
amusing to create a script that scans for the first <HTML> and the
</HTML> and strips it off emailing it to the sender as text to be read
at there leisure;') Think after a few well meaning emails they would
get the message and leave the <HTML> to the browsers to read.
Regards,
[EMAIL PROTECTED]
