Thanks (for your position, not the warning). Plaintext should be the default and HTML _could_ be an option. If HTML is used, it should contain a plaintext version.
It MUST contain a plaintext version (per RFC 2119 [1])
You're making the naive assumption that people actually follow that requirement. :-) LOTS of email floating about the Net, both legit and spam/trojans, contains HTML and no body. And sending the message twice (plain and HTML) is a slap in the face to anyone on low bandwidth. drupal_render() for mail does have potential advantages. That it may make it easier for *contribs* to send HTML email is a downside I am willing to accept. -- Larry Garfield larry@garfieldtech.com
