While this is an interesting conversation (HTML vs. plain text) it's not
exactly pertinent. We appreciate the feedback regarding our newsletter (and
will be providing a plain text version in the next iteration).
As for generic "why delete HTML email" etc, it's best offlist or in other
forums.
Personal note (and I'm breaking my own rule here), I *choose* to go to an
HTML website so I know what to expect. I don't *want* HTML email coming to
me because I don't have a choice on what will happen (in all
reasonableness).
Every morning I load all my messages in PINE and delete all spam (etc)
before loading it into my work-imposed mail reader ;)
