Again ignoring the emotional BS in this and other threads for the moment.
Good, Veronicastein, you demonstrated what I said, email can transmit more
than just pure ascii!

So why do you have such a big hangup against developing ascii further,
commensurate with the transmission capabilities of email/newsgroup/web? Is
the hangup just because of the words in a standard that originated in
pre-Internet days? 

Or are there any chances for a more open mind towards progress based on
that old standard?
