Some (many!) people discourage use of HTML. Use of HTML is discouraged or disallowed for many mailing lists. On the other hand, I've believed for a couple of years that this "discouragement" is antiquated and unwarranted. Two out of three *new* lists at my Listserv site allow HTML and HTML, or rather dual HTML and plain text, is the standard for those lists. 80-90% of my personal and professional e-mail (excluding mailing lists) is now HTML. Form helps emphasis and focus, and HTML allows better use of form .... and that translates into better communication. That said, I don't expect to change the thinking of anyone that thinks a 2KB message is better than a 40KB message, in and of itself. cheers, wayne Nate Eckstine wrote, in part, on 2007-06-21 3:01 PM: > Why is posting in HTML discouraged?
