Mail does HTML fine.

Yes it does.

I like to have HTML turned on because some of my mail
lists come that way and look much better.

True, But you can post in text and read text or html like I almost always do.  Because if you post in text more people can read your E-mail and the person that can help you might only read his e-mail from pine.

I have a rather basic system Pentium
133 and a 1.6 hard drive.

I'm sorry

I would think people with at least that much
computing power could reasd html if they want to.

Alot of people don't have fast pentium systems or bandwidth to burn.

If they don't want to,
perhaps they czn just skip those messages.

I agree with you.  And would like to add that I wish Mandrake digest came in html.
