[Vision2020] Fwd: HTML in E-Mail

[Tom Hansen]

I am a strong believer in non-HTML postings, especially on a public forum
such as Vision 2020.

Not all subscribers are using HTML-friendly e-mail software.

As such, out of consideration for those subscribers, I suggest posting plain
text.

"While insisting on the pursuit of the great liberal values of tolerance,
equality, justice, and free discussion, liberals should join with
conservatives in supporting virtue formation in our families and character
education in our schools. The very survival of our nation depends on such an
alliance."

- From "Moscow as a City of Virtues" by Nick Gier (Professor Emeritus of
Philosophy at the University of Idaho)

Mike Finkbiner to me:

I strongly agree about html in e-mail.  It is unnecessary and causes
problems for some users.

Another problem specific to 2020 is that the archives do not save html
e-mail correctly.

I am not a subscriber (which is why I am mailing you rather than posting)
but I drop in on the archives from time-to-time to read the few posts which
look interesting.

I wrote:

Do you mind if I forward this response to Vision2020?  I won't without
your permission.

Mike responded:

Feel free to post, paraphrase or excerpt.  You may want to  take a look at
the archive before you do to see what I am talking about.   Sunil
Ramalingam's posts are almost always html.
