Let's face it, HTML email SUCKS
I personally HATE html'ized email. It causes havoc to many email programs, sends tons of unnecessary programming stuff, and can be dangerous. While many feel that sending email with lame little pictures, stupid music, etc. adds something to an email, it drives many people to delete first and ask questions later. Attempting to explain this, and to explain how to turn html off in certain email programs has been problematic. However, a wonderful new website does it VERY well.
If you'd like to get rid of that horrid html'ized email from your in box, or to refrain from sending it, use this wonderful handy link.
