HTML is Bog standard ascii ?  Great...no problems. 

Sorry I have ignored HTML and all its wonders. One day I shall 
perhaps explore its joys and delights.  :-) 

So...the moral of all this is stick to Bog Standard Ascii and we 
will have no screams on alt.ascii-art like:

      " Please turn off the colour (color) ! "

and  

      " Please uuencode ascii animations before posting. "

Bye,
