... HTML in email is evil and annoying, I agree.
I happen to stand for the other side. HTML in email allows for richer expression of ideas. I like to use italic, bold, numbered and bullet lists, and (occasionally) tables. I delight in replying to people in HTML if they send me HTML first.
But I work in a department where most engineers still use elm(1) on HP UNIX workstations. So I do not cast pearls before swine. (No, Jimmy, I'm not calling you a pig :-).
Adapting St. Paul's approach to the subject at hand, I will become all things to all men so that by all possible means I might save some to realize the benefit of (at least text) e-mail.
On this list, I've been known to write up a wiki page, then I include a pointer to it in my plain, old boring ASCII text e-mail. That keeps everyone happy.
