Frankly I though AdamW was a little too aggressive in his approach on the issue. Your explanation about not knowing that it was happening is very normal, and the simple explanation of the problem and how to fix it is all it takes to correct it.
If I was, then sorry, there was no intention to be - as you say, many people use HTML mail not because they *chose* to but because that was the mailer default and they didn't even know about the plain text / HTML distinction, which is why I point it out to people, along with some reasons why they may want to change to plain text. That's all I was trying to do.
Nothing personal about it. Sometimes it's just a matter of tone, and that too is a matter of perceptions. When newbies are involved in this kind of issue I prefer to give them the benefit of the doubt. Those of us who may have been around a little longer can be expected to have a thicker skin. Your later postings in this seemed calmer. Peace.
