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.
