    However, this does point to a rather interesting dichotomy in our
operations here...

    With compilers, we write to the most modern standard, begrudgingly
support old compilers, and consider those to insist on using such old
compilers as holding back progress.

    With email, we write to the oldest standard, scorn features supported by
more modern email package, and consider those who use those features as
troublemakers... ;-)

I wouldn't have any objection if the policy said something like, "always
provide plaintext; avoid HTML whenever possible"
