email etiquette
Yes, most clients handle formatted email just fine, but that doesn't mean it should be used. Most people that use formatted email are actually obfuscating their message. Blocking formatted messages is also a good way to eliminate a significant fraction of spam, since the majority of actual emails are plain text, and the majority of spam are formatted.
email etiquette
I'll add that I routinely filter html emails to junk mail; the vast (vast) majority of the html emails I get are spam of one sort or another (the exceptions being mailing lists I've explicitly joined and obnoxious people who cram their signatures with tripe). For the most part, if I'm not already expecting to see html in an email I don't want to see it, and I would prefer (as a matter of etiquette) that people don't send it to me.

And yet you used underline and italics to emphasize your point.(?) :-/
email etiquette
italics in email are usually sent as rtf, not html, and this isn't an email anyway. but I appreciate the irony regardless. :-)
email etiquette
Not RTF, but enriched text, I hope? As far as I know, only older versions of Outlook use Microsoft's RTF (and that's exactly why Outlook fails to communicate well with non-Outlook clients, and why sites like winmaildat.com exist). (Apart from that, I think HTML is used much more often than enriched text.)

you both must live then on another planet or timezone ;-) If I would re-activate my e-mail HTML Filter from 1998 I would miss 98% of my business e-mail!
email etiquette
Then I hope your old filter also rejects multi-part messages, when some part of it is HTML?

Your business wouldn't happen to involve that drug that starts with a 'V' (which I can't name, otherwise OSXHints will flag my post as spam), would it? - lol |
