Yes, it does. Why do you think, that close to all the gmail users |
14 |
are sending out HTML mails? |

No, it doesn't. It doesn't even send out RTF. It's either |
19 |
HTML or plain text, what you can compose on gmail. |

Sure, no doubt about that. I fail to understand though, why |
25 |
GMail sends out HTML, if there's no formatting in the mail, |
26 |
which would require HTML. IMO, it should behave like Mozilla: |
27 |
If you compose a mail in the HTML coposer and the mail has |
28 |
no HTML elements, a text/plain will be created. THAT is the |
29 |
proper way to go. |

They are not. Lotus Notes beats them to that. |

Wrt. Outlook Express, that's plain wrong. And wrt. Outlook: It's |
45 |
wrong as well. Outlook CAN interface IMAP servers. But you'll |
46 |
lose all the benefits of Outlook in this case. |
