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.

But that is the real world.  You can deny that, but it only describes
your (lack of) relation with the real world, not the actual situation
in the real world.

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