Yuck!

HTML emails are *really* hard to read and skipping over them is a pain.
Those of you who receive the list as individual messages may not have
realised quite how painful this is, as good MUAs will hide the HTML
when there is also a proper version, but those of us on the digest can't
do that.  Please please please can people not send HTML if at all
possible?

[now feel free to thwack me if I'm out of line, Mr. Bill :-]

If you save all your money for three years, you'll be able to afford this
new computer.  If, however, you blow all your money on poker, booze and
loose women - you'll still be able to afford it in three years.
