The ultimate irony in this whole debate is that I found Michael's latest email message well-nigh unreadable because of the way it was "X-MIME-Autoconverted: from 8bit to quoted-printable by towanda.citec.fi id CAA06003" -- characters converted to the =xx format, wide lines wrapped so that very long and very short lines were alternating within a paragraph, often with words broken arbitrarily at column 74. This is not a criticism of Michael -- I receive several email messages a day that suffer from this problem. Most of them I delete out of hand, but I would have liked to have been able to read Michael's message, and I may still run it through perl to unmimify it. My point is this: while we're "investing" all this time debating whether CSS+DOM+ECMAscript or XSL is a better tool (personally, I want both, each for its own problem domain), we can't even get universally readable plain-text email. Enough, already, let's get back to doing some real work!
