I fail to see why people go nuts when you post in html if it's for a good
reason. I think html makes it a lot easier to read if you use italics,
underline or bold correctly. Does it create that much of a bandwidth
problem? It's not a large image. My posts in html weren't intentional on
this group although I have done it when I thought it was appropriate. They
were a function of that checkmark on the Send tab. And I still noticed the
html toolbar which *is native to OE messages* in rich text format, but since
I wasn't doing anything but hyperlinking, I didn't think it would be html.
The post that started the html question that Plato said "gave his eyes a
workout"--(I'm not sure what that means because his eyes have all the tools
to handle that and more anatomically and physiologically) but it came simply
from a font used on Kelly's web page when I pasted and I still cannot
understand why it is such a prodigious deal.

Even with the checkmark out of the box on that send tab, this message opened
up to post in html and I changed it to plain text.

So I'm still left with:

1) Why is posting in html a huge deal? I can site two ocassions on these
groups when MSFT OK'd posting up an attachment and posting in html (one
wasn't a public group) and one was a word group for the purpose of being
able to review verbose logs.

What's the problem for people if you use italics or a bold or underlined
word? I can understand Plato found that paste from Kelly's site small,
and it gave his eyes a "workout"--that I call normal physiology.
Particularly given David Candy's comments above (this being a binary group).
I thought that rich text was conceived for the same good reason that there
are multiple fonts.

2) What was Kelly's point about testing in note pad first. Testing what?
For why? A hyperlink in note pad for what reason?

Best,

Chad Harris

Plato,

I have set my newsreader to display posts in TEXT-only mode.
I fail to see why people insist on posting in HTML or RTF, (or even write
eMails in HTML).

Unfortunately, MS Outlook Express insists on displaying graphic files which
are embedded in HTML posts!
(At least in MS Internet Explorer, displaying of graphic files can be
disabled.)
