I do it partly because html format replies are very messy and confusing
and partly because of the general principle of "do as you would be
done by".

I realize it's difficult to achieve autonomy over one's own computing;
I for instance am currently suffering from finding that my messages
are mysteriously taking two weeks to arrive and that line-final
fullstops are being deleted. The sense of impotent frustration is
galling.
