I'd like to point out that I'm a big fan of plain-text e-mail, but to be 
completely fair towards the original poster, his e-mail DID contain a 
plain-text section (and correctly marked as an alternative for the HTML 
as far as I can tell), so a MIME-capable plain-text reader could have 
simply ignored the HTML part. I agree it is still preferable to send 
plain-text only messages.

But for those of you who had a lot of trouble reading his message, this 
is what he said:
