Linus, man... the number of people who auto delete html emails is on the same order as the number of people who disable javascript or run desktop linux and don't know how to program.
- Despite 14y agoHe's talking about mailing lists where people submit patches and such, so 90% of the email is text only. And (here I'm guessing) he's talking about replying to, say, a patch email and having it html-fied.
- 4ad 14y agoUsually mailing list software, not people, deletes HTML email.
- antidoh 14y agoHe has a good technical reason for not liking html mail, but the number of people who care about this are vanishingly small and a device maker doesn't really need to care about them. There'll be an app to come along soon I imagine.
- TazeTSchnitzel 14y agoIt's not the device-maker, it's a fault of the GMail app. Ironic. The people who would know and care about this stuff are exactly the kind of people who would have wrote the app: programmers.
