For years, I was very disciplined about using plain-text only for my 
outbound messages... but then I got frustrated with seeing email I had 
posted (to lists like this) - come back with horribly bad line wrapping 
- that made for very choppy readability. (This may have been better or 
worse depending on which software or device I was reading it on?)

Then, when I switched to using my Thunderbird client's "plain and html" 
setting, that problem went away, and posts that I made didn't look like 
someone high on drugs typed them.
