Reason I do not like HTML post is that i do not read mail in Outlook/firefox

Actually I read my mail on a separate box, with no GUI :)

I run sevral high volume mailing lists myself, and what I'm trying to make people understand is
this:

-how you quote is not as important , but the ability for EVERYONE to read your opinion is!

and therefore please use the lowest common denominator , aka pure text.

That's all it is, no old-school l33t RFC waving fanatic, just a desire to read
what people post without having to either forward it to my gmail or to my sandbox computer.

thank you.
