Don't you know the light&rapid MUAs we can read the 1000-2000 emails a
day without stress ? A long time ago, people have discussed the
trivial things, such as signature length to share poor wires. Altough
the world has changed(BB). It's important to give people freedom to
make progress. However guess you have to handle(read&reply&delete)
1000 or more HTML mails a day by the recent nice graphical MUAs. It's
as if a torture. For me, that's why I can't give up emacs.
