[amsat-bb] VE3HLS Easter Rove

[Devin L. Ganger]

If you're using only text, the sender's choice of font does not get transmitted and is therefore irrelevant to the recipient's choice of font.

The RFCs define and allow MIME, hence define and allow HTML.

Some ISPs and mailing list management software packages are notorious for mangling the content and formatting of messages sent through them.

We're bouncing low-power radio signals off tiny cubes in space just to say hello to each other -- let's be more open to the fact that standards evolve and change as technology changes.

If the sender would use a mono spaced font (courier) the formatting would remain.
There is something to be said for following the RFCs.
HTML and other fancy techniques have no place in messages.
That is what text is for.
