    David> All HTML is pretty rigourously specified at www.w3c.org

Unfortunately those specifications aren't adhered to much...
I hate HTML email.

I've not seen a use for it yet, and I wish people would stop using it
in simple emails - I've recieved 10k+ multipart emails that have
little more than a single line of information. The rest is the bloated
HTML part.

*Sigh*
