OK, I did not mean to set off a firestorm here.

Andre, you're quite right to challenge the generalization -- which goes for the \
"strong challenge as well. It will depend quite a bit on the mix of messages and the \
application one uses for writing them. I receive quite a bit of newsletters, so, yes, \
it is all HTML. I also use web interfaces at times when away from my computers, so my \
sample is skewed. Someone receiving messages primarily from listservs and developers \
certainly sees a different mix as Ralf points out.

Patrick, you properly called me out for adding idle chat rather than acting on my \
beliefs. An enhancement request has been filed here:

Best,
Roy
