Yes, for about a month now for the AFR. Although the
reason given to customers was that hardly anyone wants
it in plain text, therefore it is no longer viable to
produce both. I'm not quite sure where Fairax expects
to make savings from removing the text option, so
favour the rationale given above.

Sure, they need to sell advertising. However, I wish I
could get off the list because all I'm getting now is
a message 3 or 4 times a day that states there is no
text version and I should switch to the HTML (which
involves giving up a significant amount of personal
information). No unsubscribe link. I have sent an
e-mail to F2, and they responded initially, and since
then I have heard nothing.
