Oh.. Flamewar :-)
While i believe in advanced mail programs I use M2 which is included in
Opera or TheBat! I agree with Ted. I really dislike HTML mail as much as
flash advertisements that make sound or homepages in flash.. maybe I am
too backwards.
IMHO is there no use in HTML mails, because i believe the informnation
counts not the presentation.
I would have answerd the post, if i knew what to do, but repeated posting
(in 24) makes me feeling like .. well I can't explain. It's like standing
in a warehouse an crying because nobody is able to help..
Blah... gotta get back to work.

btw:
Best Quote for that:
"The PROPER way to handle HTML postings is to cancel the article, then hire
a hitman to kill the poster, his wife and kids, and fuck his dog and smash
his computer into little bits. Anything more is just extremism."
