Dave, for those of us who have e-mail clients that can read html, or rtf yes it will work. However, there are a significant number of people who will not be able to view what you send. For those on the list who are in countries where they do not have a good telecom infrastructure, it also causes download issues for them (larger files take longer to download). Not everyone on this list has access to high speed modems or DSL/Cable/T1 lines. Some of the people on this list are still lucky to get a 1200 baud connection. HTML and RTF also causes issues with our archive. The preferred method is to post text only (hints: If you do not see our footer at the bottom of an e-mail from the list, then it was not sent in plain text. If you see any color or different fonts, it was not sent in plain text.) We also have a number of people on the list who do a lot of traveling. By keeping the e-mails in plain text it helps them keep their expenses down when they are traveling.
The best way to deal with such issues is to post it on the new communities site (which is noted at the bottom of this e-mail) and then send a text message to this list that you have placed it there. That allows you to provide formulas, etc. in a readable format that everyone can access on the website.
