Mailing List Archive: html formatted mail

I request that the use of html formatted mail be discontinued except
in those instances that html contributes something beyond merely
carrying a plain text message. It causes an annoying delay for those
of us not using a browser for mail support to have to fire one up just
to look at someone's plain text message. This is particularily the
case when having to sort through a hundred or so message a day.

Regards.

Lance

I have mailcap and .mh_profile settings for having your mailer launch
lynx to read text/html stuff if you're on UNIX (or some UNIX-like CLI).
You want a copy?
