  I am an attorney whose "boutique" practice consists of
  consultations in a very narrow field where I can - and do -
  pick and choose cases based on who the client is and whether I
  want to work on that sort of case or not.  The joys of being
  retired from 40 years of the full-time rat-race (mostly Federal
  service).

  Prospective clients find out up front that I do not use or read
  MS products such as Word or Excel nor do I accept HTML mail.
  Text mail and text or WordPerfect documents are my style.

  If this is a burden to them, they are free to take their
  business to some competitors out there who will give them less
  quality work for a lot more money.

  On another serious note, when I put a HTML filter into my
  PMMail/2 accounts, I found that my SPAM virtually disappeared
  (I have a message counter that assures me that they did come
  in and were trashed before being passed to the inbox).

  That in itself says a whole lot on the HTML versus No-HTML
  controversy.

  My two cents worth....
