Well, first off, I'm on board with this now - note that this e-mail is
coming to your computer in plain text.  Just to give a couple of
reasons why I like HTML though:

1) I write to a lot of older people with bad eyesight who are also not
very tech savvy.  Using HTML, I can select a font, size and color that
will be easier for them to read than plain text.

2) Hard returns at the end of every line!  I hate them!  With HTML,
the sentences within a paragraph wrap.  I have software to remove hard
returns, but a full paragraph without them is easier to work with.

Now, before you reload and fire ten more rounds my way, let me again
say *I'm on board mate! I'm on board!*
