MS Windows has nothing to do with it... A great deal of the others here
are probably also using Windows... The problem lies in MS and Netscape
not telling their users that for simplicity (and smaller messages) most
other mail-clients use plain text. 

I encourage people to ALWAYS use plain text in mail, since you never
know what the person in the other end uses, and the standard says plain
text. The standard also talks about MIME-encoding, which is what OE does
when sending html, but this is optional in a mail-client...

Apology accepted.. :)

Hmmm... that's two in a row where I don't talk about comics at
all... Sorry.. :)
