+<p>HTML email is discouraged, but not forbidden (there are some MUA, |
| 47 |
+specifically web-based that make it very hard to disable HTML entirely). |
| 48 |
+Beware that some users may have their recieving side configured to hide HTML |
| 49 |
+entirely, so it might look like you are ignored, especially if you sent |
| 50 |
+HTML-only email. In order of preference, you should endeavour to send: |
| 51 |
+text/plain, multipart with text/plain before text/html, text/html. MIME is |
| 52 |
+acceptable and widely used.</p> |
