That's where I'm coming from.  If I receive HTML mail,
PMMail filters it and, almost always it gets deleted
without any perusal at all.  

Next, I'd like to point out that I am on a good many e-mail
lists which have a significant non-US membership.  Many of
these people don't have an unlimited hours-per-month ISP,
they pay by bandwidth used.  To impose HTML on these people
is like telemarketers calling cell phones.  

Think about it,
Jerry
