I am not big on webmail for that exact reason yet I have it on my site for my friends who use asmodean.net to check their email? Why? because these friends of mine don't know better. I tease them about it. So am I advocating html and web usage for email? Probably if you look at it that way, but I don't like it. PS: Just as a smartass remark, there are more than just ftp, telnet, http, pop3 style traffic on the web, oops on the net. lol. But I'm sure you know that. As I said, smiling big as I'm being a smartass. -- If you perceive that there are four possible ways in which a procedure can go wrong, and circumvent these, then a fifth way will promptly develop. ----- Original Message ----- From: "Ann Parsons" To: Sent: Thursday, August 29, 2002 12:06 PM Subject: Re: Reply to your enquiry > Hi all, > > Yeh, Raul, that's true, very true, but email is supposed to be email > and HTML is supposed to be kept where it belongs, on the web.
