Actually, I could have sworn that I did specify plain-text (no HTML) messages once before when I signed up at trains.com (I always specify this when I join mailing lists) but I got the new format anyway... Right now there seems to be no option in my account settings to disable HTML e-mails like there are in virtually other similar e-mail newsletter distribution I belong to. <br /> I'm not sure what's meant by "changing HTML settings on my computer" in this context- surely changing anything on my personal machine won't change what the trains.com computers send me. Having users disable HTML rendering in their e-mail client (if that's what's meant above) isn't a real solution either as some of us may want to receive plaintext from some sources and HTML from others- and I have yet to meet a mail client that allowed one to specify that mail some addresses may display HTML and others may not... And some users (namely web-based e-mail such as Hotmail, et. al.) may not have the option to disable HTML in e-mails at all. <br /> So, basically, there ought to be a way to specify, server-side, that HTML not be sent in the first place; most subscription services I belong to have this option, but if trains.com has it I must be missing it.
