VOTE ...HTML or Plain Text???

Howdy!

Unless explicitly stated otherwise in the newsgroup charter (at least
for Big Eight newsgroups), messages should be plain text only. HTML
markup adds noise and negative value. This is not really something to
"vote" about. It just *is*. Usenet newsgroups are, in general, a text
only arena. Binary newsgroups are a notable exception.

Email, likewise, is a fundamentally text-only application. Anyone who
insists that they *must* send their content solely in a text/html format
is wasting my time and the time of others who elect to use a text-only
email client (which is often far less susceptible to attack, including
the use of HTML spyware).

yours,
Michael
