Their emails are advertisements, and advertisements use lots of fonts and bright colors. The problem is that the people at small businesses who compose their own emails lack the talent and training of the people who work at ad agencies. -- John Varela

Mail properly supports format=flowed, so not inserting returns willy-nilly means that the READER gets to determine what is and is not 'readable', which is at it should be. There is no sense enforcing your preference, however sensible it might be, onto someone else. -- ++?????++ Out of Cheese Error. Redo From Start.

If there is no valid text-only version, then it goes tot he bit bucket. I expect to be able to read mail quickly, and often only spend 1 or 2 seconds scanning an email. Anything that makes that more difficult is an imposition on my time and is unlikely to generate any positive feeling on my part. -- Criticizing evolutionary theory because Darwin was limited is like claiming computers don't work because Chuck Babbage didn't foresee Duke Nukem 3.

For example: Interesting. I seem to recall reading not too many years ago about how the ACLU refused to take *ANY* 2nd Amendment related cases.
