I have been on the 'net since the USENET days, when the 'net  became 
available to us sometime in the mid 80s. I have been aware that HTML was 
not supported by email readers, and that people were annoyed by posts in 
HTML.

I retired from teaching Computer Science in 2004. In the early 90s I 
established the first network in our building on Western's campus with 
internet access. My team and I pulled the wires and installed the 
routers. We put networked PCs on every faculty member's desk.

I have been posting here since the early days of OpenOffice.org, version 
1.1 if I recall correctly. And I used OpenOffice.org's predecessor, 
StarOffice, well before SUN bought it.

I knew that Thunderbird's default is to send email in both text and 
HTML, but I was NOT aware that people still use email readers that can't 
display the text portion of email without the HTML part.

I have not had any complaints from anyone about posting in HTML until 
now. I can be very annoying at times, so as I said, I make every effort 
to rectify the unnecessary things that annoy some.

Thanks for your response.
