With text messages, everyone can select their own font preferences in their mailtool while with HTML you have to jump through hoops to do the same thing, if the tool allows it at all. I catch myself missing items from John's mails sometimes because the font is so large I don't see the entire sentence at once and skip words (how's that for a paradox?) My opinion: Although I see the benefit of HTML in some cases I would prefer it if we stick to plain text for the mails themselves. If you feel you need the additional markup possibilities that HTML provides, just attach the HTML-version to the plain text mail. I did this for my 2.4 summary as well. Gregg, John, could you please give your opinion about this? Yvette Hoitink Heritas, Enschede, the Netherlands E-mail: y.p.hoitink@heritas.nl WWW: http://www.heritas.nl
