The *problem* is that when it is used in a *NON* binary group... (such as this) it comes through as a Binary attachment...
There are three points as to why this shouldn't be done.
1) It is purely *bad* netiquette 2) Some ISP's will DROP NG's that carry binaries if they are NOT a Binary group 3) It can screw up people's *Offline* reading..
Basically... It is simply good manners to NOT use such things...
I have asked this question before and never recieved an answer...
Does WebTV *push* this as a *good* thing? If they *do* then they are doing their customers AND the usenet structure in general, a dis-service.
Because the amount of people I know who have the ENTIRE Web TV structure k/f-ed due to exactly this problem, is amazing.

Once upon a time (around Tue, 7 Mar 2000 22:00:58 -0500 (EST)), there lived a [email] (DWI Fridays) who said:
OK then, you called me on a typo I didn't even make, make another few yourself (sposed - supposed, signiture - signature, asshoe - asshole).
HTML should not be used in usenet unless posted in a group which allows it. alt.tv.southpark is a text only group, so therefore should not contain HTML. The only people who seem to do it are the clueless on WebTV who can't seem to figure out how to turn it off.
