        HTML is E-Mail is NOT an advantage.

        Oh yuck!  I thought you said it was good.  Then you say it
supports html.  That's not good.  That a bug, and a security hole,
and a disaster looking for a chump to screw over!  Html is an abomination
in E-Mail and has no place there.

        If you don't believe me, I have some hostile Javascript applets
that will give you your first clue.  If you don't like that, I've got a
but on embedded redirects to help display some very pretty snapshots
from a local porn site as soon as you hit it.  With luck, that may even
occur when some of your office co-workers (preferably female) or maybe
even your boss is looking over your shoulder.  :-/

        Of course the message would be forged to look like it came
from the CIA or someone impressive and unlikely to be impressed by
your objections.

        HTML is inappropriate in E-Mail.
