Message: [QUOTE="Alan Balmer, post: 1687105"] What we (or at least I) haven't seen, however, is any major transition to email that actually needs or even effectively uses HTML. The vast majority of HTML email I see is simply plain text with a bunch of tags. The usual goals of email and usenet posting are quick communication of relatively short messages. HTML adds little if anything to further those goals, and in fact, usually detracts from them. In companies where I work, I sometimes see email (usually posted by the HR people) which comes in bright colors, with flowers twining around the border, and attention-grabbing fonts. The reaction from the recipients is often "Obviously they don't have any real work to do." Reaction from the network admins is usually "Damn, another gigabyte of storage gone." [/QUOTE]
