I think I've said this before but if it wasn't for the security holes in HTML then this argument would never be raised - we'd all be using HTML by choice ( and in reply to Allie we'd also be better at it and not into choosing such garish colour schemes lol ) because that's all we would know. IMHO - HTML mail has it's place but it's not for me so hence my satisfaction with the way TB! does things. -- Best regards, Barry2 Using The Bat! v1.61 on Windows 98 4.10 Build Current version is 1.62 | Using TBUDL information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html

Hello Victor B. Gonzalez, On or about Saturday, January 18, 2003 at 07:37:09GMT -0500 (which was 7:37 AM in the tropics where I live) Victor B. Gonzalez blithered: VBG Most people expect HTML and to compose in RTF and a lot of VBG people would really enjoy a news reader... And most of those same people are the lawful prey of the virus and web-bug authors. I choose not to be! VBG I say the old saying goes well... Carry a gun and not VBG need it, than need it and not have it... I currently VBG support 100% the idea of more enabled HTML, RTF, and news VBG reading capabilities and word is its coming whether you VBG like it or not... I carry a gun, and have only needed it three times in 30 years, and used it (ie fired it) only once, in self defense. Total times I have exposed it for its intended purpose - under three minutes in 30 years. It is, therefore OPTIONAL. Again, I choose NOT to be a 'helpless victim.' VBG My question is once its here will you stop upgrading? In a word, if these unnecessary 'features' are not made optional - YES! And I'm not alone in this. -- Warmest tropical wishes, Spike A Kennedy's most common sexual position: Defendant. -- /\ ASCII Ribbon Campaign - Against HTML Mail \ / If it aint a webpage it shouldn't be HTML.
