If you have received e-mails with various formattings, eg font styles
sizes colours etc then you have been!

A quick scan of the archive reveals 6 in the last week, in each case the
HTMLified version was between one and a half and two and a half times
the size of the plain text. When adding this to the plain text it mean
that between twice and three times the essential amount of data was
being shifted. If it is only occasionally then its not too much of a
problem, but if we all did it... and everybody else on the net..........
