Hi,

Wrong. HTML is wrong. It is a waste of bandwidth, the vast majority of
spam uses it (so many anti-spambots kill it on sight) and more over
you're expecting the person at the opposite end to have an html enabled
and capable email client - which is not only damned rude (why should
they?) but can lead to many problems.

I have html disabled on this machine and unless it's from a very select
few people, they go straight to /dev/null.

Wrong. If they bothered to format correctly in the first place, the
extra 2 moments just vanish. See, 2 moments wasted just vanish because
someone bothers to follow the guidelines. It doesn't matter how old they
are, if they're good and valid, they stay.

And by informing them that their style of email is wrong, why it is
wrong and more over how to correct it is not helping them how?
