Please reject html email politely with directions to post as plain text only.
Is that even possible with the free version of Hotmail ?
Apparently not, I just got an email from our new joiner. She's indicated that when she has a working network card with linux she will be changing her email address to something she can send plain text only from.
Wow, having just logged in to my (mostly dormant) hotmail account, yeah - I'll confirm that you really can't set any sane defaults at all. It really doesn't give you *any* options for what format the outgoing mail is going to be in - that really isn't nice...
It used to be that linuxmail.org offered a nice(ish) free mail service, I've just done a quick test subscription to see what it's like these days - it still does real plain text mail (woo!) but there's more popups and random advertising than I'd really like, and it adds an advertising signature to each mail you send, which is annoying.
I can't remember if Yahoo mail is as annoying as hotmail in this respect either.
Anyone out there using gmail (I'm not, and haven't got an account or any invites, and don't want them...), can that actually manage to send plain text e-mail?
Cheers,
