Subject: [ntdev] RE: Should NTDEV *REJECT* postings in HTML?What would you say in 10 or 20 years. That we should use
something like Flash in our mail or may be some PowerPoint or
Publisher or PageMaker or something just because it would be
2015 outside?What OS are you using? Following your logics we should go up
with the time. Does that mean we should make all our users
upgrade to Window XP?Alexey Logachyov
