Dear Hyves,
Would you please stop sending me email that does not make sense?
I quote:

Unfortunately you can't read this mail properly, due to the fact that our outgoing mail is
html-formatted. Your mail program probably only support plain texts.
There's a couple of things wrong with this email;
- I can read it properly, it's just not the same contents you expect me to read when I open this email.
You expect me to use a mail client that parses HTML right-away, without me choosing to do so when I want to. I'm sure your engineers will be familiar with the "why HTML mail is bad" meme that has been going on since the '90s.
- It's not up to you to say anything about my ability to read anything.
- You say my mail program probably only supports plain text, but that surely does not take into account the fact that I may have chosen to not read HTML emails.
You could, of course, include the actual message you're trying to send in plain text as well, rather then this weird looking (static) message.
Point 1 and 3 are the same :)
Point 1 and 3 are the same :) Just set your procmail properly so all hyves mail disappeurs :P
Actually their not entirely
Actually their not entirely the same. Point 1 is whether I can read the email (which I can, putting in front of me this stupid text), whereas point 3 is about the silly assumption that "when not reading in HTML, probably your client can't"
If I remember correctly, HTML
If I remember correctly, HTML *still is* plain text ;-)
Gheghe, so my client *is*
Gheghe, so my client *is* able to read it. Reminds me of a customer asking "Should we communicate using XML or plaintext?"
