Gebhard Dettmar, Text or HTML?
Maybe 80-90% of html-mail is spam.
That's why I use 'text/html'
as spam filter. The rest is filtered with regexes like
[Vv][^0-9a-zA-Z]?[1iíìI].?[Aa].?[Gg][^0-9a-zA-Z]?[Rr].?[Aa]
Works quite well. Besides,
you don't need to format eMails too much.
So what's the use of mails like this:

Eric King, HTML Considerations
The Modeling Agency's newsletter used to broadcast the same newsletter
in both HTML and text (subscriber's choice). The "delivered" rate of the
HTML version was moderately lower than the text version. The text
version basically points to a web mirror of the emailed HTML newsletter.
We later stopped the HTML version, not because it was any more difficult
to produce, but because spam filters seem to penalize HTML over text and
some subscribers never receive their newsletters.
Editor, KDnuggets News format,
Currently, KDnuggets News is emailed in plain text format, with links to
full HTML pages on www.kdnuggets.com/news site.
I am considering emailing KDnuggets News in HTML format.
What format you prefer?
