HTML in posts to the list

[Dave Krooshof]

Most HTMLers, especially oulookers are not aware of the HTML.
I've been nagging on this subject in my social circuit, but it seems that
outlookers...
a) can't find the 'no html' option.
b) do not see the point of looking for it.
c) do not want to realy care.

>Is it possible that those who post in HTML don't know that they are doing so?
"I don't know what you mean by HTML, so I guess it's not in my mail."

Probably the HTMLers miss out on this thread. So we'll need an official
posting saying. Note: ALL you guys need to switch of HTML, and this is how
you check it.

>Maybe because their newsreaders hide the HTML tags, so they never see them?
That is the case. It's layout code. They see all sorts of fat, cursive and
'different font' stuff.
Likewise the <blond mode on> tag will merely mean using a big curly font.

Next step is script in the HTML, and this is the reason virussen may spread
on OPENING of an email. In our days, when these hoaxes started, they were
untrue, but MS made our nightmares come true. HTML scripts in emails is
here.



In Hotmail, you have a choice to send in HTML or not.
Browse the settings for it...

Yes. I notice that in the fact that hardreturns a replaced with spaces.
So: no paragraph layout and No free >s on relpying.

I'm very happy with that. I have huge audio disks, huge blocksizes.
putting emails in several filles saves me GB's in drivespace as each file
uses one block minimum. A stuffing file only uses a block or two.
