As someone pointed out here, since "people" knows what a mess is associated to fancy-htmlized-multimedia mails most of them stick with pure text, sometime with JPG attached, and once a month with some crazy powerpoint or flash stuff, which can be politely ignored. For spam I am behind a excellent spam filter (tailored version of spamassassin if I got it correctly) and since it has been activated, I saw the spam rate dropping from 150 spam per day to one per day. Too bad for the false positives, havent noticed one yet. So I have a far more positive feeling than 5 years ago. I am (almost) convinced that I will not have to handle all this multi-media annoyance for at least 10 more years. Cheers, -- François Fleuret
