It's all a part of the evolution Scott. There has been whining about
bandwidth since 300 baud modems started carrying the mail. Some folks are
perfectly happy with simple text based Apps and OS's, but the rest of the
world moved on some time go. So must the internet. I appreciate your asking,
but I for one am not going to turn off MS Outlook's nifty formatting. I see
it as quite an improvement to e-mail. I hope the rest of the world follows
suit.
