Well I agree with you guys, HTML mail is an abomination, but my point is 
that you can whine all you want about HTML email, the likelyhood of the 
hoards of clueless users changing to keep you and Will happy are about as 
good as an icecube in hell.

You may find happyness quicker by looking for a solution on your end 
rather than beating your heads against the wall. 

Remember, grasshopper-
