With what are you agreeing?
I appreciate HTML. I have to; it's my job. HTML e-mail is Whole Other
Vile Beast.
I generally consider HTML email an annoyance, and, honestly, most of
the time I ignore it. I feel like HTML does not belong in the "message"
part of an e-mail. If an HTML file needs to be attached, so be it, I
encourage that even. Especially in a public forum, the essence of what
you are communicating should be the focus, not the layout or the pretty
colors or (Universe forbid) the images.
