Then the question is do we sacrifice this minority of legit HTML messages
in order to kill spam.
We don't sacrifice those AT ALL... ONLY the ability to send such [supposedly]
"legit" HTML-burdened messages UNSOLICITED, to those who have specifically set
their E-mail accounts to NOT receive such mail from
unsolicited/unknown/untrusted senders.
WHOSE SUPPOSED RIGHTS ARE YOU TRYING TO PROTECT HERE, ANYHOW?
I think it makes sense to put priority rights to those who are paying the
bills... and that's the recipients. They should have the power to turn off
such
bulky and unwanted crap, ESPECIALLY given the fact that they typically are
trying to work around limited-size ISP-provided inboxes and to keep them from
overflowing and bouncing the mail they DO want to receive.
