The way this list (to which I subscribe) does HTML mail makes sense.  It's
about the only HTML mail I tolerate, and the only HTML mail I receive
voluntarily.

[All that said, I've been toying with the idea of switching to text to
avoid waiting for the graphics to find their way over my 56K frame relay
connection.]

If the typical run of HTML were this sensible, I wouldn't be so vocally
anti-HTML mail.

The only time I send the stuff is to test something, usually with me as the
recipient.
