Keep up the fight, Rick.

One of my responsibilities is to lecture incoming staff on ICT matters,
and one of the things I ask them to do is to set their e-mail to plain
text. I explain the security issues and tell them that many people block
incoming HTML mail because of it's potential to carry malware.

If one in 100 hears the message I consider it a win.
