Re: HTML message...

Re: HTML message...

well, below is what i get....

actually i prefer to set my font myself... if somebody wants to use html
code he could load it on a web page an post a link... in this way it
would display as it should as people use a program for html [browser]
rather than for text [newsreader]...  if a new group makes you happy, go
for it...  i for one love ascii-art _because_ it displays only text and
i can use it anywhere where text can be displayed...   thinking about
it, i guess i wouldn't join a html newsgroup, so make that a no/no...

just my two cents

ps: encoding your message took up 74 instaed of 17 lines - that makes
3341 instead of 637 characters or about 5 times more traffic... 
just another thought.
