That doesn't always help: I've been griping about this on my local TUG |
| 13 |
list just recently. Some (web)mail clients, when sending HTML |
| 14 |
mails, uses some sort of funky graphics/CSS formatting to denote |
| 15 |
quotes, and sometimes they even strip the quote marks ('>') that sane |
| 16 |
mail clients insert and replace them with their funky graphics. |

I complained to my local TUG this time because some guy responded an |
| 19 |
e-mail 6 or 7 level down in a thread and auto_view + dumping of html |
| 20 |
by lynx makes the quotes completely disappear, and the discussion |
| 21 |
becomes completely impossible to follow! |
| 22 |
|

Besides: if one is already using the bandwidth to send mail in HTML, |
| 24 |
why not make it MIME-multipart with a plain text version included too? |
| 25 |
|
| 26 |
(BTW, the above gripe is not directed at anyone on this list in |
| 27 |
particular, rather is an anecdote to illustrate a point.) |
