You have a typo towards the end of that sentence but yeah sure, I would
rather people send me that than HTML mail.

Of course you might know how to use HTML mail properly but this does not
detract from the fact that both myself and many others instantly shy
away from it with such instinctive reactions and conclusions about
original senders which might not be justified but happen anyway.

I say that because of the underlying structure of the Windows NT kernel
which kind of makes it slightly unlikely to actually happen. But you
have provided a link to a project which has managed to do it so hats off
to them for inginuity - that is quite an achievement there.
