Nicely and polite answer.  Personally, I resisted the temptation of a more
"worded" reply.  ;)  

Here's my viewpoint:  First off, it's just "correct" to use ASCII, not only on
this list, but also newsgroups, etc.  I blow by messages with 17 point Comic
Sand fonts, unsupported fonts, etc.  It's not that I'm a asshole, it's just
that I don't need, nor have the patience to read text that scrolls 140 columns
across  Obviously I can help people, and do when possible, but if you
post in HTML..., it won't be me.   (HTML is for web pages!)

IMHO
