I admit they are bigger, but it's not a big difference over a 28.8k
modem (I pay for my online time - thanks BT!).  I just object when
images creep in as well.  I prefer HTML mail and for me the biggest
problem is simple not everyone can view it correctly.  Some people get
hostile over it (and claim it's a violation of the RFCs; something I
disagree on with the advent of MIME).

Regards,

Luke
