I really dislike receiving HTML emails because it quadruples the download size of the emails, and renders poorly in email clients, and makes way too many presumptions about my computer system.
No, I am not going to download that crazy font you wrote the email in so it ‘looks real cool’, or upgrade to a more ‘modern’ email client for ‘optimum’ table-based layout rendering, or download IncrediMail so I can watch those remarkably interesting and oh so not annoying at all emoticons that whizz around, or bother booting up Windows so I can view your Publisher attachment.
Because of this, I am promoting the Ascii Ribbon campaign by not sending HTML mails — plain text only — or attachments that require the use of a proprietary program to view it.
I have also attached the following signature to my emails:
() ascii ribbon campaign - against html e-mail /\ www.asciiribbon.org - against proprietary attachments
I encourage others to do the same.
Your ascii ribbon seems to miss an end (also it should be single-spaced
)
Actually, that’s not my fault. It’s a WordPress bug.
If I wrap it with the
codetag instead of thepre, it displays correctly, but that’s not semantically correct.Once the WordPress devs fix the bug, the end will magically appear.
