AW: annoying HTML postings -> time to end the thread

[Jim Johnson]

We can turn this into a list for platform religious wars.. or we can drop
it now.

BTW - good Email clients (Calypso on this machine) have the ability to
ignore the HTML portion of the message. And name-calling (Micro$oft,
Windoze, Slick Willie) is childish.

mean if MS is using all the resources, you can't install any third party
