[Gllug] re: HTML Mail

[t.clarke]

Sorry to add another tuppence worth .....

People like me (admittedly probably rare) who receive their mail on dumb
'green screens' find that HTML mail is almost unreadable - the text being
obscured by zillions of tags.  For us, the extra kilobytes of junk may not
be a major problem; although if everyone sent us HTML mail we would need to
increase the bandwidth of our internet connection to at least double !

Surely the function of a mailing list is to exchange information/knowledge etc;
not to paint pretty pictures on other peoples screens ?!

Stripmail sounds very interesting - does it leave base64 attachments intact ?
