Indeed, and the members of that school are the rational and logical 
members of society, amounting to no more than 5% in the best of times.

Frankly, my personal e-mail client dates back to 1995 (eudora lite 
1.5). And it serves me just fine. I receive virii and other malware 
on a weekly basis and not a single one of them has ever touched my  
machine. They get downloaded as attachments to a folder and then are 
annihilated.

When some idiot sends me a 4 sentence message with 200 HTML codes and 
some artistic background, I get the source code on my screen and I 
just delete the message. If it's from someone I know, I give them a 
free pass and tell them not to do it again. If they do, they get 
deleted.

Exactly what I do. As far as I'm concerned, if you can't make your 
points clearly on an old-fashioned typewriter, then you aren't worth 
reading and no amount of colors/images/formatting controls will alter 
that. 

F.O.
