HTML email is not Microsoft specific. Netscape, even under Linux allows for
it. And HTML DOES have its proper uses, such as sending a web page as opposed
to just a link. It can actually help make a point. I will admit it
presupposes that the reader(s) have HTML based mail-readers. Personally I have
Xfmail set to call up Netscape for HTML attachments.
