html mail...

[Geoff Shang]

Hi:

As has been sited already, many many mailing lists prohibit HTML messages,
and some even flatly refuse to accept them.  HTML provides no functional
advantage over plain text.  If your client cannot process properly formed
URLs in the message text, then this is a limitation of your client, not of
plain text.  Pine and many other clients will allow you to click a URL
written in plain text in an E-mail message.

Geoff.
