Roger and I have conflicting opinions here frequently, and I
agree with Adam about what "should" be done with HTML mail,
but my server, my rules apply.  I convert to ASCII text.  Not
because it is the right thing to do, but easier than explaining
to all the clueless how/why their bloated mail was rejected.

In my opinion, it is Adam that is childishly dragging on about
his hurt feelings from being corrected in public.  On that
same note, Roger should have done his correcting in private
and only offer praise in public.

If you don't have anything good to say..... find a way to make
it sound good. ;)
