No, the reason isn't that HTML mail is insecure or that it increases the amount of spam I get (I get very much anyway). I don't read HTML mail because it decreases usability. Every HTML mail I've seen looks different; font sizes, color and link styles are differ. Plain text mail, on the other hand, looks all the same (excluding the fact that some people top-post but that problem still remains with HTML mail too). > All I want is to be able to send a receipt that looks exactly like the > webpage, and I cannot see why that should be forbidden. Use PDF if you want something that looks exactly like something else. If the receipt looks like a form and it is rendered in a context that is able to contain such form (a HTML page or an email message, for example) but it doesn't behave like a form, then it's definately a poor UI. The receipt I get from local grocery store doesn't look like the collection of bar codes from the items I bought. I still believe that the very same receipt has some meaninful relation to those items. -- Mikko
