Amen. The last job I had was in 1996 and ALL email was HTML. Where are you
text-only people coming from?
A world that recognises that it takes only 10 bytes to say "Thank you.",
not 2500.
The world today is no longer about bytes or kilobytes.
Today we calculate in megabytes, gigabytes or terabytes.
People no longer treat mail as a novelty that can transfer messages
like a telex did in the past. They use it like a fax or letter.
That means mail includes mark-up, letterhead, vcard-like signatures, etc.
I have no problem if you want to aleniate yourself from that world,
but it is the world that businesses and software operates in.
You describe a world where fluff is more important than information.
Nonsense. You are living in an outdated world. HTML email has been the
norm since the early to mid 90s.
I don't care if you choose to live that way, but the vast majority of us
do not.

Why is a person who plays the piano called a pianist, but a person who
drives a race car not called a racist?
