I use Outlook 98, so I can read HTML and plain text mode, but replying to
something in HTML format is a real pain and you can't post code easily
because you can't cut and paste it into an editor. It's all very well posing
an HTML document to someone who you know can read it, but I feel that it
would be rude to post one to someone who can't read it. And it takes me ages
to re-format a message once I've converted it to plain text.

Just my 2p :-)
