I hate that proprietary binary crap as much as you seem to do.
But. When you rule out HTML in email you rather sound like my grandpa
complaining about my little brother who dyed his hair pink. There's a
lot of new kids on the block these days. They think it's plain silly
to not use available techniques to emphasize your communication. I
don't now if you're 15 or 75 in age, but you sure have a _very_
conservative attitude.
My Mom don't easily see much of a difference in writing a poem and
writing an email. To her it's pretty much the same. She wants to
express something on her mind. If she feels like putting something in
bold, visually, why shouldn't she be able to do that in an email?
You seem to be against progress because you're stuck with ancient
tools. It pisses you off when other netizens start using more
sofisticated tools than you have yourself. Instead of embracing
change, you fight it. You behave like a dinosaur (kind of).
