For some reason, the larger portion of Corporate America seems completely
incapable of reading email unless it's top-posted, color coded, and
rendered in Comic Sans.  Funny little characters indeed....

Then you have things like Outlook Web Acces and Notes that make it
*impossible* to send a plain text message.  IMPOSSIBLE!  In OWA, there is
no setting to make a message "plain text".  It doesn't exist.

Feh!
