I disagree with that assertion. I have not see HTML mail used in such a
way tha tit detracts fromt he content of the message. Can you cite some
examples of this?
most new users to email - especially from the older crowd. that's a good
example.
ever gotten an email from your mom that says simply in excruciatingly
bright pink; "I LOVE YOU!" in text so large it doesn't fit in the preview
pane? i have. it's annoying as hell. i've considered adding her to my
bounce list because of it.
besides, pink on white is painfully hard to read.
try it sometime.
