Chill out, reptile lady!  I *meant* /if you know/ that they have an
HTML-enabled reader.

I *know* most people don't... I was on a mailing list, and anybody who
posted in HTML got big flames.  So my default mail sending is plain-text.

Now for a separate matter, HTML in newsgroups...
Most of the newsgroups I subscribe to are pretty much HTML-only.  Someone
once posted:

"What kind of sick, twisted weirdo are you?  Posting in plain text?  You
cannot post to this newsgroup unless you have pictures, moving things, funky
fonts/backgrounds, sounds or marquees in your messages.  Given all the
wonder service these servers have provided, it's only fair to waste as much
bandwidth as possible. <g>"

My default news sending format is HTML.  (I have a counter in my .sig.. it's
reached 3,458 so far.)  But I don't post HTML in non-HTML groups like this
one...

I know better. =D

>>BKNambo. (Now, if my newsreader chooses differently.. that's MS's fault..)
