The web and email are two entirely different areas. By using that M$ crap
you are producing mail that is not in compliance with RFC1855. Of course
Bill has never let little things like standards get in his way.
>From section 2.1.1:
- Do not include control characters or non-ASCII attachments in
messages unless they are MIME attachments or unless your mailer
encodes these. If you send encoded messages make sure the
recipient can decode them.
- Be brief without being overly terse. When replying to a message,
include enough original material to be understood but no more. It
is extremely bad form to simply reply to a message by including
all the previous message: edit out all the irrelevant material.
- Limit line length to fewer than 65 characters and end a line
with a carriage return.
