I would encourage folks to rethink the use of HTML email on the

Yes indeed. I use Pegasus Mail (http://www.pmail.com) which is excellent and virtually immune from all the MS exploits. It can display HTML correctly, but for preference I have set it to only display the plain text version of HTML mails if they have one.

In any case the use of a GIF attachment to show text information (and not even clickable URLs) is a lazy way. The information could just as easily have been typed into the body of a normal email.

For the vast majority of emails HTML is not necessary.

Of course John could also have got to the MMANA site by clicking on the link on my website I mentioned in my other mail. (http://www.dsergeant.btinternet.co.uk/fivemegs/fivemegs.htm)
