["Rob 'Autographed Cat' Wynne" <doc@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

Pardon me while I rant a while.

The Web is not the Internet.  Hard as this may be to believe.  There is 
much on the Internet that neither touches nor is touched by the World Wide Web.

Specifically, e-mail is not the web.  HTML has no place whatsoever in 
e-mail.  Ever.  Most sane people do not read e-mail in a browser, do not 
WANT to see their email marked up in HTML, and see no reason to read their 
e-mail in a substandard application just so someone else can use italics.

ASCII only e-mail.  An idea whose time is now and always.

(muttering "When I was a boy, we didn't HAVE the web. If you wanted to show 
someone a pretty document, you had to print it out and mail it to them.  In 
black and white.  On a dot matrix printer.  And we LIKED it!")

series is that the British ones have three-dimensional characters and
cardboard spaceships, while the Americans do it the other way around."
