Yea, I know I'm draging the point on, but...

For some of us it's not an issue of using outdated email programs. My

those provided by the bloated "modern" email programs. Yet it only supports
plain text, and if it did support anything other than plain text. I would
turn that off because it's an eminent security problem.
