Why would you want to do that for goodness sake? 

Some  of the people with whom I do business use HTML format in their e-mails - 
are you suggesting that to I should refuse to do business with them on principle? 

What's wrong with HTML e-mail anyway? 

I have seen suggestions that if it is widely adopted the Internet will grind to a halt; 
HTML e-mail is becoming ever more common and the net is speeding up. 

Can't help wondering if those that carried messages in  forked sticks regarded the 
introduction of illuminated manuscripts as entirely unnecessary and burnt all 
communications received in this format....
