[$] The trouble with text-only email

Mozilla's manifesto commitsthe organization to a number of principles, including support forindividual privacy and an individual's right to control how they experiencethe Internet. As a result, when Mozilla recently stated its intent toremove the "text only" option from its mailing lists - for the purpose oftracking whether recipients are reading its emails - the reaction was, toput it lightly, not entirely positive. The text-only option has beensaved, but the motivation behind this change is indicative of thechallenges facing independent senders of email.
