3. Why would anyone using this scheme be obliged to receive anything
other than pure text? Again, TMP is intended to be as configurable as
any other civilised mail program. I have to say, though, that I don't
know how to avoid HTML in any of the internet based mail programs I've
ever used - Turnpike, Outlook, Outlook Express, Lotus Notes and
Thunderbird. But if you want to configure your mail reader to reject
HTML and only accept "raw" text, fine. Just recognise the fact that
non-computer people in general (a) don't understand the discussion and
(b) would be shocked to the core if they were told they couldn't
include their new baby's photograph *in the body of* the e-mail they
just sent to granny and grandpa who wouldn't know an attachment from a
hole in the wall. If they can't see it in-line they can't see it at
all. Ditto links that "work".
Harold,
I can't say about the other mail programs but Thunderbird can be
configured to display any type of incoming email as plain text only.
Your not avoiding the downloads of html based emails, but you can avoid
trying to read those annoying html emails where someone has used a size
128 font. Displaying as plain text eliminates those problems. Presumably
TMP would offer the same option for users.
