 Your response does not address the question of removing message.html
 files. They are an implementation by TB! that I appreciate. They can
 be removed from view but don't go away until deleted. I appreciate
 seeing the bloat caused by HTML content (typically 5 to 20 times the
 size of plain text).

 HTML may be a big part of your world. Mine is just the opposite and
 most of the received HTML messages are SPAM. One of the reasons I have
 stayed with TB! for 10 years is because of the way it deals with HTML
 _and_ protects my customers from the bad things that often appear in
 HTML.

OK, this should be interesting. But, I'm off to lunch first. That way,
when I do post - on a full stomach - I'd have something to blame my
responses on. :)

Actually, thats not true. I just updated my report because mine are
not getting deleted even when I manually delete delete and answer the
prompt. Yes, I am using .21 Build (is .22 out yet btw?)

This is not about you and your preferences. HTML email is here and
some people use it, some don't. That preference has _nothing_ to do
with functionality.

 Can we agree that your dissertation on the merits of HTML did not
 address the question? That is what I was addressing. I offered a
 different point of view.

Whats there to address? Your respond was unwarranted and without
merit. In other words, you were just being a smart a$$ because quite
seriously you _don't_ really believe that we're going to tell our
friends, family, colleagues, team mates etc to stop using HTML.

Gimme a break.
