Unfortunately, what *should* be industry standard and what PHB's want
often tend to differ. Dramatically.

Several of the outfits we work for here would simply fire us if we
refused to generate their newsletters in HTML, preferring to send out
a plain text mail with a link to a web page instead. The latter is what
I'd much rather do given:

* bandwidth considerations
* the fact that HTML mail with embedded images looks "spammy" to things
  like SpamAssassin
* the number of people whose mailers don't render HTML in the first
  place
* HTML is for web pages, not e-mail

In the 60's people took acid to make the world weird. Now the world is 
weird and people take Prozac to make it normal.
