Re: To format or not to format... Is that the question?


 

I think those are a very good points, Paul.? I may follow your lead.

Gentle GMF Members,

I'd have to strongly agree with the points made by DR Stinson in his post above, especially in that plain text allows one (i.e., me) to set the display to a font/size that is comfortable for me to read.

The other reason for choosing to set my group to plain text only is that, by using HTML/rich text, it can permit invisible, executable malware/applets to sneak in undetected. For that bit alone I reason that plain text is a very useful better-safe-than-sorry option.

Also, with one of my groups many of the members are in a 3rd world country where some of them have very slow Internet service with limited bandwidth which makes plain text (and no piggybacking) important to them to help minimize download time, especially when they are billed by the minute while they are online.

Just FWIW . . . .
