Hello Gina, > Let me get this straight......because I was unaware that I could not use > HTML.....(didn't even know what it was 'til now)...I am on your "kill list"?
Yes. Or you were as I reject HTML and other oddly formatted messages from people I do not know as a general course of action. > or have I done something else equally offensive? No, nothing else world shattering ;-). This isn't personal and I do it for several reasons. One is that a lot of the spam I get uses HTML to force my browser to their site before I can do anything about it (grrrrrrr), another is that I am an official net.old.fart and plain text is supposed to be used for news and mail since everyone can't see it and some even have to pay to bring in a simple message that is, say, 500 characters in text format and goddess only knows how much bigger in HTML or whatever. Someday bandwidth will get cheaper (I hope) and HTML/RTF or something will take over plain text when everyone can see it / use it / not have it cost them an arm and a leg. Personally I think that is a good idea, but the time isn't here yet. I've quite preaching netiquette as it just keeps people who adhere to non-standards for whatever reason they do upset and contributes nothing to the signal-to-noise ratio. Simpler to make my choices like everyone else :).
