Gripes

A few things that annoy the heck out of me.

HTML Email

Please stop sending HTML email, it's evil, and whenever possible you should turn it off! Here are some instructions on how to configure your email client to sent plain text only (no HTML).

MS Word Attachments

Please leave off the MS Word attachments as well: save the file as plain text before sending it (preferred), or, if you really do need to preserve some fancy formatting, save the file in an open document format, such as pdf or the Open Document Format, not the proprietary MS Word "doc" format. For more on the weakness of MSWord as a document exchange format, see MS-Word is Not a Document Exchange Format.
