to which I would reply "Not when plain mail can't do the job without errors". :-p

Simple is no good when it is simply wrong.

If plain text can't reproduce exponents, special symbols, etc. then authors have to use HTML or something or else they have to take the time and make the effort to write clever circumlocutions to get around that inadequacy of the plain text format; for example, writing "10 to the 12th power" or "10^12" when one cannot write the "12" as an exponent.




well, 10^12 works perfectly in my mail client with plain text. Thunderbird atutomatically renders it as you are used to see!!
