You're right, of course. Sergey does send html. I agree with asking

For safety reasons. Sure, good e-mail clients show us only html source
instead of executing it. Here comes second reason - if using safe e-mail
client you are forced to click somewhere to see what it has to show.
Annoying. Especcially, when there is no reason to use html - just added
line or two to original message (that were plain text).

I would add that many people set their client to display only plain text, so
if the html looks a real jungle, and it usually does, the message doesn't get
read by many people. Consequently less aid is available.

Okay. I was completely shocked when I saw the discussion about the reply
I made... last week probably... Y'all guys are pretty crazy that's what
I observe. lol. And of course, I won't write HTML-formatted emails no
more. And I guess kde-linux was made to discuss questions bout KDE in
Linux and nothing else.

Sergey
