Re: 5 Good Reasons HTML in email is a BAD idea  Hi Ran. Mele is not under attack People do enjoy HTML email and attachments between friends all the time and she is obviously responsible about when and where to use it. As I said, I have no problem with that. My peeve is with people who DO NOT know when or how to turn it off when inappropriate.
Some friends I have prefer not to receive any HTML e-mail whatsoever, and I respect their reasons for that. They have their e-mail client set to read in plain text only, in which case, any HTML shows up many times as an attachment, unknown to the sender (because it is not really an attachment). I believe OE does this, though I do not use it. In fact, I found that my Juno e-mail converts my messages to HTML automatically and I needed to find out how to turn it (HTML) off when sending e-mail to those who are sensitive to receiving HTML e-mail. The article has some nice instructions on how to do that.

Gordon , thanks for the info on the blinking envelope link - I about went nuts trying to figure out what that was because it isn't explained anywhere to a non-Incredimail user (or in the e-mail itself). It was a link - I did not click it as the sender was unknown to me. Glad I didn't miss anything important

:D Plain text is right (when it comes to e-mail and security)...but when the "green light" is on, I go for the graphics like you, Gordon 
Seriously, too, is the webspace problem as well. I get a LOT of e-mail and those "pretty" ones take up too much and then the folks who really need me, can't get to me especially if I am lucky enough to be away for a few days...gone fishing
