[or-roots] Extraneous material in transmittals.

Html propagates virus and worms as does the word doc used to make your message.
   People would rather read plain text for research for many reasons, simpler, cleaner, smaller in size, not all people see it as . but as [ clean and simple ].
     Quicker to fast read messages.

I have many lists for years we have used html messages, they are good for sending pictures and such , but we use our private mail and my private genealogy lists tho because there are too many people on public lists that do not want this type of message and when they increase on a list, many people will simply leave.
    I love HTML, how ever I don't and wont again use it here except this once.

  If you people would move out of the dark ages and into the light of the modern computer system you would set your own system up to read html and then all this gobblegook would just dissapeer and you would find a whole new world of e-mail with fancy letterheads, pictures and other wonderful things. 
  I used to be like you but I moved up to the latest e-mail system and what a wonderful thing it was I now get all of the beautiful things that can be sent though the modern computer system.
  By the way it doesn't cost anything for the latest systems they can be had by downloaded for free or a cd for just the cost of shipping.
  People, Cecil and I are not going to go back to driving a horse and buggy just because a few of you are to lazy or to stuck in the mud to move on.
