No problem...some people get bent out of shape far too readily
and will jump down your throat without explaining, calmly and
clearly, why you may be practicing a violation of email
ettiquet.
HTML mail can look nice but it comes at a price...hogging
bandwidth unecessarily - and this can cost some people money
needlessly and make the mail difficult to read (if using a
text-only reader OR having HTML turned off).
I used to use whatever email software I wanted - usually
Netscrape's mail client or kmail - but recently, my university
made anything but microsoft software unusable. I HAVE to use
Outlook or the like - in fact, I have to run Citrix ICA to
run a virtual NT session in a window on my linux box and
thru that, have to use Outlook for mail now. I have no choice.
They have shut down pop3 and imap. In any case, I have
set it to use ONLY text, not HTML. It hurts nothing, and
if you want to send a fancy formatted HTML message to someone
who likes that or has no problem with that, feel free, just
never do it to general mailing lists or newsgroups.
