Ameer,

You miss the point.

There are two issues.  One is bandwidth.  html format
and emails which contain both html and plain text are a waste of
bandwidth.  For those that pay per byte received, it is forcing
them to pay extra... and don't come back with it's their problem,
it's a matter of common courtesy.

Secondly, there are those like me who uses an email client that
DOES NOT HANDLE HTML.  html encoded messages see the delete function.
So what you say, no big deal.  Not for me, but remember, I'm not the
only one.  If you post some problem or another, you want the maximum
exposure.  It doesn't help if a good proportion of potential
problem solvers don't read the message... a case of shooting yourself
in the foot.

Orin.
