[Dev-C++] HTML vs plain text

[Santiago P. C. <San...@yd...>]

Hi Bob,

It seems to me that this is becoming something different than a 'religiou=
s
war' about 'HTML vs plan text'... It's near a 'M$ vs non-M$ war' right no=
w,
but let me say some things about this...

* - Dev-C++ is developed for M$ Windows but... It uses SW that has been
ported / is being ported from UNIX/Linux to Windows because some people
think *that* SW is better (and cheaper) than *other* SW developed for
Windows; just think about gcc/MinGW and some libraries like STL,
wxWindows...

* - Even in the case that we're using M$ Win XX as our OS... Why am I
suppossed to use M$ Outlook / Outlook Express as email client? Shouldn't =
I
use any other emails clients?

* - If you think that M$ is doing things better than anyone else... Why
aren't you using M$ development tools?=20

* - Statistics are not good in most cases, so saying that "pyschological,=

physiological, and marketing studies have demonstrated that '>' chars are=

worse than 'tabs' or 'HTML tags'" is not a big point to have in mind... B=
TW,
just one question: Who made the studies?

* - If you already know that this mailing list is different than the rest=
=20of
mailing lists that you are suscribed to: because we use different tools,
because we use different and heterogeneus environments, because people he=
re
think different from others, because whatever... Why are you trying to
change the list in order to fit to your needs?

I don't want to flame you (please belive me), I just only want to point o=
ut
that most of us think different than you and we're using different system=
s
that yours (note that many people has replied from 'text side' and not so=

many from 'HTML side' ;oD), so please, please, as some people has pointed=

out before on the list (I think Colin Laplace also said so): try to avoid=

the use of HTML in this list...

BTW, "G=FCttenberg" is a good clue for something that will make a BIG
revolution in communications, but I don't think that HTML emails are such=
=20a
big revolution (and I'm not the only one)...=20

Regards, Santy
PS: I'm using both M$ Windows systems (Win2K & XP) and UNIX-like systems
(FreeBSD, Red Hat Linux & Solaris)... And I try to use the *NIX ones as m=
uch
as I can...
