We literally didn't, otherwise MMS wouldn't have been as popular as it was :)
Personally I too prefer plaintext in almost every case. But I also understand why people don't share that preference.
- lproven 1y agoIn my world, MMS never was popular. Where do you live?
- diggan 1y agoLive in Spain, but grew up in Sweden, am around 30 years old. In late 90s/early 2000s, MMS was wildly popular among my peers.
