With usenet full of spam and emails full of HTML and I think Usenet has always had more than its share of spam, but gnus has scoring to get rid of most of it from the newsgroups. As for email full of HTML, _generally_ it, too, is spam, so who cares? On the rare occasion it's from someone I know, I email back and say I don't download or read HTML email because of all the Microsoft viruses. _Everyone_ knows what I'm talking about. The fact that I'm reading email in a text-only mail reader while logged into a Linux shell account from my Mac never gets mentioned. :-> > unquoted references I have a nasty feeling there will never be a way I > can happily use Gnus at work. Work is a different issue, if it is _expected_ that you will read email in all its full HTML glory. Another poster has suggested an option, but if the workplace requires HTML, the workplace is asking for trouble.
