I have to say that I'm baffled at the perverse pride that people seem to take in being so technically backward that they're unable to handle the mail that 99% of the world uses today.
99% (I made up a number!) of the world is sending fairly straightforward email within one language group and one set of recipients. IETF participants use a heterogeneous set of technologies and that seems to me to be a very good thing. It seems reasonable to me to keep the formatting that needs to be applied by the mail reader to a minimum. There's some stuff that's being sent that is extremely difficult to pull apart. Melinda
