Have you ever looked at a raw HTML message?  One of those
that gets composed in Composer or Outlook?  It makes our
signatures look puny in comparison.  Once I was trying to
find out just a little of what an HTML e-mail was about.  I
had to scroll through three screens full of HTML headers,
formatters, etc. before I got to any real text.  That did
_not_ include graphics.  I don't call that miniscule.  (And
notice that I just emphasized a word without using bold
characters.)  And I can't imagine why any company would
need HTML e-mail unless they're spamming.

HTML e-mail is rude, crude, and unattractive.
