I fail to see why people go nuts when you post in html if it's for a =

reason. I think html makes it a lot easier to read if you use italics,
underline or bold correctly. Does it create that much of a bandwidth
problem? It's not a large image. My posts in html weren't =
intentional on
this group although I have done it when I thought it was appropriate. =
They
were a function of that checkmark on the Send tab. And I still =
noticed the
html toolbar which *is native to OE messages* in rich text format, but =
since
I wasn't doing anything but hyperlinking, I didn't think it would be =
html.
The post that started the html question that Plato said "gave his eyes =
a
workout"--(I'm not sure what that means because his eyes have all the =

simply
from a font used on Kelly's web page when I pasted and I still cannot
understand why it is such a prodigious deal.

Even with the checkmark out of the box on that send tab, this message =
opened
up to post in html and I changed it to plain text.

So I'm still left with:

1) Why is posting in html a huge deal? I can site two ocassions on =
these
groups when MSFT OK'd posting up an attachment and posting in html =
(one
wasn't a public group) and one was a word group for the purpose of =
being
able to review verbose logs.
=20
What's the problem for people if you use italics or a bold or =
underlined
word? I can understand Plato found that paste from Kelly's site =
small,
and it gave his eyes a "workout"--that I call normal physiology.
Particularly given David Candy's comments above (this being a binary =
group).
I thought that rich text was conceived for the same good reason that =
there
are multiple fonts.
=20
2) What was Kelly's point about testing in note pad first. Testing =
what?
For why? A hyperlink in note pad for what reason?
=20
Best,

Plato,

I have set my newsreader to display posts in TEXT-only mode.

Unfortunately, MS Outlook Express insists on displaying graphic files =
