All the little graphic Smiley Faces which have been appearing in the
mail in recent monthst, that convey very well the intent of writer, when
the text could be misleading, are all functions of HTML. You would have
us do away with this?

Actually, from what I can see HTML has really become the standard and
every mail program that I know easily handles the HTML. Maybe that our
server software needs upgrading. Or perhaps not. It may be easier to
trap viruses if HTML is not activated.

Just thoughts.
