RE: [epub] Digest Number 227

Hi Brian,

I have (as usual), two points of view on HTML ezines:

1- The are several HTML versions that I either read or save, to be read
later. I rarely delete them without at least scanning them. However, this is
likely due to the content as there are some lengthy ezines in text format
that get the same consideration.

All this "pickiness" is caused by too much in the INBOX and too little time.

2- The other consideration is a standard dread of the relatively new ezine
publisher: I fear the thought of alienating ANYONE who can't receive HTML
email. I'm working too hard to build up my subscribe list, to lose anyone!

I know, the obvious answer is to offer the list a choice. Heck, I've made a
major (for me) investment in a software program for the text version. Ergo,
the text version it is, for now.

Regards,
 
Jack Wilson
