Complaint about Quote Kvetching

Somebody complained about my kvetching, and how they had to have so many screens of quotes because they had to use a larger font. I understand that, because I'm blowing up the size of stuff more and more now (even though my prescription hasn't changed in a few years).

However, that doesn't affect things on the mailreader I use (Pine). The only way that I know what font somebody is using is if their mailreader is tacking on HTML on the end of their post, and I were to wade through it looking for font lables.

Two things for the list members:

Is my kvetching too 'kvetchy'?

Could somebody post/point to directions on how to turn off the HTML on those mailreaders which use it?

Thanks,

Barry
