  I turn off "quoted-printable" in "Composing Messages" and 
"Automatically Download HTML Graphics"  in "Fonts and Display."

  HTH?

At work last week the exchange server went down, company wide, due to 
overload from one of those internet virus/worm thingies. Seems the 
corporate types keep passing it around. My non-techie friends were amazed 
that my 40mhz Quadra 840AV with $0 of software investment was still 
chugging away as my mail server while the expensive fancy exchange server 
had managed to blow itself up :)

You think that's bad? Where my wife works, one of the senior VPs sends out
corporate-wide email like that. The techies don't see it because they
mostly use text-only mail clients in *nix, but the non-techies running
Office2000/XP get illegible messages and the mail servers are all
overloaded with the crap. When I was there I spent countless hours trying
to teach the virtues of plain-text internal messages and PDF files on the
corporate intranet, but to no avail. Touchy-feely admin types just don't
get it that email is for communication, not artistic expression. Mind you,
most of them could also use a course in effective writing, but that's a
subject for an altogether different thread (and forum, for that matter).

Not to mention annoying... one list my wife's on has ONE member that 
insists on sending stuff with fancy backgrounds (can't read what's in the 
email over it,) banners, animated graphics, and occasionally MIDI (ugh!) - 
found a good 10 meg of it after a few weeks.

Now we just delete her stuff from the server, unread.  I don't need a two 
meg download to say "Me too!"

HTML is never helpful; there isn't a single e-mail client in existence that
can't properly handle URLs when they're displayed a the very easy-to-read plain
text format as they are in the list footers here.

If you want control over justification, use a word processor and send
attachments.  E-mail is for plain text.

Someone wanna 'splain where the hell that is in the settings?  I've been
unsuccessfully trying to turn off HTML image rendering for two months, despite
the fact that it was working fine (as in turned off) before I messed with some
obscure x-setting a while ago.

Re: HTML graphics in email Was: Top vs. Bottom Posting

[otto hansen]

occasionally I receive mails where the html is helpful such as ebay auction
receipts and a few newsletters that happen to be in html and personally I
think that the email standard could use a little bit more formatting power
than it currently has... maybe not graphics (even though many people use
them all the time now) but the ability to format into say tables or have
control of justification
