Excuse me?? If html is a mail standard anywhere, I haven't noticed it. Internet standards for mail are well defined and don't include a mention of html. Besides, there are many of us who would rather read substance in ascii than be dazzled by formatting. My personal view is that, aside from obscuring communication, tags or markup of any kind bloat the message beyond it's worth and wastes my band width. If your thoughts don't stand on their own in ascii, tags won't help. If they do, tags are unnecessary and wasted effort. -- Jay To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-advocacy" in the body of the message
