Wow; thought I was the only one.
I can _handle_ HTML, inasmuch as it's just text + 'a lot of other crap',
but I prefer not to read it where it isn't needed. It's my opinion that
it's not needed here.
BUT, having said all that, I've sort of solved my dilemma. I simply
filter it out. Yup, any mail that starts with "<HTML>" gets filtered
into the bit-bucket. Maybe I'm shooting myself in the foot, throwing
out the baby with the bath-water, or 2 other pithy cliche's, but at
least I don't see those entries any more.
But, yes, I'd much rather just have those entries in a common format
that has worked just fine for 20+ years.

You know how most packages say "open here". What is the protocol if the
package says, "open somewhere else"?
