Larry,
Email using HTML is very common as it is a default setting in most of the
email clients today. Users have to reconfigure their email software to turn
the HTML "off".
Since I can view either ASCII or HTML and I have broadband service, I really
don't care--but some users pay by the minute and the HTML coding adds to
their costs.
Many lists reject messages that contain HTML coding--I'm sure the TenTec
listserver can be set up to do the same.
