If we sent HTML documents, anyone with a Web browser, such as Mosaic or
Netscape, could read these email files. Many people have such browsers
already and of course they're available for free to anyone who wants one.
So the do-you-have-a-reader problem would seem to be no more difficult, and
perhaps easier, with HTML documents than with any likely graphical
alternative.
