My problem with HTML is I lose the choice of what font type and size the
messages I read are in. It becomes very annoying when every email has a
different font type and size. By always reading the same font and size I
become way more efficient at filtering out posts that don't interest me, and
getting data quickly from posts that do. Aside from this it takes more
resources to open an HTML message (although the hit isn't noticible on my
machine anymore it is on some of the slower ones I sometimes use). TTYL
