I do not know how what I said could have been misconstrued...

The above does not mean that there are *no* HTML-compatible email clients for your platform, Jeff. :-)

At one time, when PINE was popular in the *nix world, plain text was about the only thing going on those lists. That is no longer the case.

My point was that *some* people *sometime* are *bound* to post in HTML, either by accident or simply as a result of the default in those particular clients to be HTML.

While HTML posts are indeed frustrating for many, and while I surely do prefer plain text myself, I do see HTML posts in many lists. I see no compelling reason to bounce messages back to posters who may *accidentally* post in HTML.

Again, Massimo sent *one* helpful post in HTML, and the lambasting has continued for message upon message. I'm certain that the point of many people on this list desiring plain text has been made. Let's not make too much of this rather minor incident.
