Some people actualy get mail from sources outside of these lists for work.
I often need to accept formatted documents and SpreadSheet/DB files. I would
rather have them sent as an attachment then have to parse and reformat data
from a text message.
Since I use a linux workstation at work and at home, I don't have notepad, I
prefer Nedit.
Using Mozilla is the best of both worlds because if I get HTML formatted mail
I can read it, as long as it is not white on white {but thats just silly}.
When I reply to an HTML message Mozilla nicely converts it to text so that my
reply is in ascii.
