What I would consider a big difficulty with flat text is exactly that
it is flat. There are lots of times, in my experience, when a graphic,
particularly captured ones, can lead to much faster and smarter

I'm curious about this request. What mail reader are you using that

just a general statement. I just put this msg in plain text, but I see

Please use plain text rather than formatted text.
