Hi,Tudor and All,
Being stuck is not a matter of physical age, LOL.
I am 68 and continue to live in the field of possibilities and hope
to remain open to everything as long as I am on this earth-plane!!!!!

For God's sake, we're talking about emails from Apple here, what
does this have to do with the organized crime???

Incorrect.
The user's email client STILL has to load every single pixel of
the tagged remote image. This is further exasperated by requiring
the users system and client to make the call and then negotiate the
individual packets from the remote server BEFORE it can begin to
display the image.
Sorry, you are wrong. In Apple Mail and other email clients, if I
don't press the "Load images" button for each HTML email, the
images are NOT loaded from server.
Look guys, I'm not trying to convince anyone to do anything. I just
hate when people are guided by misconceptions. The question was
simple: what do you preffer, text or HTML. The answers should've
been simple as well. But instead, almost everybody tried to explain
how bad is HTML in emails, sometimes with invalid arguments, trying
to hammer those who preffer HTML. What's wrong with me and others
who preffer HTML? Can't you just choose plain text and let others
do what they wish? Apple's UGAB did not ask us about how to make an
HTML email, nor how to design a bulletin, nor how much bandwith
they should spend on their servers. If they can spend time and
bandwith making a dual HTML/plain text version of the bulletin, so
be it, what's wrong with this?
Please don't take this personally. I am 33 years old and I believe
I am one of the youngest members of this list. That's my fault: I'm
not going to be stuck with old misconceptions about internet and
technology. Times change.
