At risk of prolonging the thread, this mail list is the only one I am
subscribed to that enforces plain ASCII mail.  So what clients handle html
mail better than Netscape Messenger, having features such as imap, inbuilt
filters,  integrated viewer (doesnt spawn an outside program), and can link
URL's to Netscape which still has no real compeditor for full featured
browsing?

Other members of my family use email to communicate which includes embedded
diagrams/pictures in text, and like to read mail as the sender intended
(formatted etc).  Plain ascii just does not cut it except in limited
circumstances, with the average non-tech user wanting the bells and
whistles.

And food for though for those who object to html mail in all circumstances
- if you have to deal with non-tech management regularly, and you send
ascii only, and your peers use full featured documents (ok, this mostly
occurs in M$ environs), who APPEARS competant, and with it to such
management? - are you willing to bet your carreer on being a dinosaur?
