Depends on your client and level of sophistication, doesn't it?<br>
<br>
Rich text isn't going away any time soon. In fact, most clients
automatically convert anything that parses as a URL into a clickable
entity. Multiple fonts are frequently embedded in messages.<br>
<br>
I personally find it valuable to use bold to highlight certain critical
elements of communications to clients, so that there is no
misunderstanding.<br>
<br>
The majority of the world's users increasingly agree, that this adds
value ... and with 18LN efforts solidly based on 16-bit character sets,
the days of plain old ASCII are, I suspect, numbered.<br>
