Is there a way that Gerry can be upgraded to be able to
parse html-based e-mails for the digests? With the proliferation of
html-based e-mail clients (they are quickly becoming the rule rather than
the exception), this is going to be a bigger and bigger problem for
digest subscribers.
I am not a digest subscriber, but I have the ill-fortune of causing those
who are a lot of angst. The reason is that I use Outlook 2000 at my
office, and there is NO WAY (trust me folks, I know what I am talking
about) to *completely* turn off html e-mail. If I reply to
someone that posts in html, Outlook AUTOMATICALLY replies in html, even
though I manually set the format to "Plain Text" each time (a
PITA).
As more and more List members "upgrade" (no flames please) to
Office 2000, and new versions of Outlook Express, Eudora, etc. I think
this is going to become more of a problem.
In my own "world" (you know, the one where I'm king, Chevy
drivers clean my pool, Dodge drivers clean my house and Ford drivers are
forced to clean the garbage pails..) the perfect solution would be to
force everyone to run PINE (Pine Is Not ELM) (gotta love double recursive
acronyms).
Is it friday yet?
