The following is written in plain text:
HTML is Hyper Text Markup Language, the language of web pages.
As you may notice I have changed the font of your original text.
You must have your default mail composing format set to HTML instead of pla=
in text. I am using Outlook Express for Mac so can't tell you exactly how to=
reset your default composing format.
However this is a "screenshot" of my default text font=
. Having a different font which is known to me enables me to identify immedi=
ately when an eMail is in HTTP format which I recommend for everyone.
As you can see HTTP allows you to compose mail in many fonts which is=
why I have transgressed the law and intentionally sent HTTP (punish me!) to=
illustrate this.
For those of you running Windows, HTTP e-mail is a bummer since it can incl=
ude programs which run when you read the e-Mail. This is how you catch a VIRUS.
Commercial websites love to send HTTP spam since they can hit=
you with all kinds of glitzy hooks like animations and sound clips (it's al=
l about money).
Not everyone can receive HTTP format so plain text is really best for=
the widest audience.
