[sylpheed:36652] Re: Text emails and html tags

[Roger Pryor]

Hi:

I've used Sylpheed since the early 0's, for two reasons:

1)	Its simple and easy to use,
and
2)	It refuses to handle HTML.

There are very few occasions when HTML is useful in email, and far too
risky, in my mind, to be worthwhile.  I agree - ban it, please.
