That's not a troll; it is actually some good advice although rather
blunt and uninformative. I do not open email containing HTML. It goes
directly to my bozo bin. I assume I'm not alone in this. I prefer to
read mail in plain text without *your* choice of horrid text and
background colors; without the awfully sized text jumping off the
screen at me.

Thanks to spammers that have used links like this *to harvest* valid
email addresses, I certainly won't click on a link like that. Does
anybody anymore?

You think. It's easier to just add you to my blocked mail list and
I'll never see your junk again.
