Of course, for those of us using clients that DON'T support HTML, messages
formatted with HTML can be messy enough to try to read that I don't
bother.

Of all the HTML formatted email I've recieved at my work address, where I
do have an HTML-able client, almost none of the formatting people use
actually helps them communicate better.

YMMV, but that's my experience.

         And why should night and day be so radically divided?
             Is there anyone for whom loving and thinking
                 are lived as different beginnings?
 Would I have to spend my days with the one and my nights with the other?
