Actually, to be a little pedantic, Chris' reply was not HTML, it was
text/enriched.  Looks similar, but it's less filling.

Both Jamie and Chris sent out e-mails that were MIME
multipart/alternative.  Jamie had a text/plain section (0.5K) and a
text/html section (1.8K).  Chris had a text/plain section (0.6K) and a
text/enriched section (0.8K).  The text/enriched has fewer tags and
formatting options that HTML so it tends to cause a little less bloat.

While I personally would prefer just text/plain, I appreciate both of
them (or their mail clients) sending multipart/alternative so my mailer
can display the text/plain section per my configuration.  I actually
didn't notice the HTML or enriched sections until Chris and Tanner
pointed them out. :)

Cheers,
Mike
