[wellylug] Signal to Noise ratios

I use Outlook most of the time because it's a whole lot more convenient
for me.  I use a lot of its other functions while at work, and being
able to use a program I've already got open for email is far easier than
SSHing out and running mutt to satisfy some unwritten rule that when
posting to a linux user group list I must use an open source email
client.

Regarding your second point, asking that I not use Outlook would be a
rather strange request to make.  Neither mutt nore pine had a problem
viewing, in plaintext, the last message I sent to the list.

Perhaps the only reason you have an issue with me sending email in
Outlook is that it conflicts with your idealogical beliefs? :)

<BEG> Well, at least this last mail doesn't have content="Microsoft Word
11 (filtered medium)"
in it :} .... 

Actually I just had remembered a few requests from people with text-only
mail clients (mutt, pine, ?) who weren't overly pleased with HTML...
