	Hi Bob,

	It seems to me that this is becoming something different than a
'religious
	war' about 'HTML vs plan text'... It's near a 'M$ vs non-M$ war'
right now,
	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... BTW,
	just one question: Who made the studies?

	* - If you already know that this mailing list is different than the
rest of
	mailing lists that you are suscribed to: because we use different
tools,
	because we use different and heterogeneus environments, because
people here
	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 out
	that most of us think different than you and we're using different
systems
	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 a
	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 much
	as I can...
