But how much better is it to recieve
"<b>Yes</b>, I <i>want to</i> come to the party."
instead of
"Yes, I want to come to the party."
No argument there. But having a recipe such as
:0
* ^Content-Type: multipart
/dev/null
in place (which was originally suggested) means you'll have an
inaccurate count of how many people will be attending your party.
No argument there. I'd never recommend sending mail to /dev/null,
especially for something as trivial as html. I was just addressing the
argument that there's nothing wrong with html; to the contrary, html
markup is almost always a waste for email. But the best approach to take
is to use a decent MUA that will let you read html'ed messages. If you
MUA can't do that, get rid of it.
I didn't ask for an opinion on wether or not HTML messages are
pretty, or wether or not my MUA is adequate. I asked for a mail
filter recipe that would DELETE ALL messages that hit my inbox
that contain HTML MIME attachments.
No more. No less. Thanks for the commentary though.
