It has been done to near death on the list but for the benefit 
of those that have not seen it.

E-mail is a for the most part very non-standard.  That means 
what facilities you have on your all singing and dancing 
browser-mailer is not generally available on mail specific or 
older mail programs.  Of which there are many about.  Far to 
many for anyone to assume the rest of the world has to conform 
to Bills' dream.

Any attempt of sending anything but plain old US ASCII will look 
beautiful on your screen but probably just be a bunch of junk on 
the recipients system.

This maybe fine for you and your friends who may all have the 
same mailer.  For a list such as chileheads or strangers it is 
fatal.  It is also a sure sign of a newby ;-)

After one hundred and fifty years and many thousands of firearms 
control laws to reduce crime the list of successes should be 
long and illustrious.  Where is the list?
