A little more strongly worded than my past pleas, but yes. Plain
text. I don’t know how many scores of times I’ve asked people to do
this, but it seems to have no effect. Almost every mailer, except
maybe those that suck (like AOL’s), offer a plain text option. It’s
really not hard to tweak a setting. Nonplain text can double the
amount of bandwidth required, and can look pretty weird when read by
older mail software. PLAIN FUCKING TEXT FUCKING PLEASE.
