Okay. Here's a trivial one to keep it simple:
Recently I went to my bank in person. A few days later I get an HTML
email wanting to know my level of satisfaction for the service I
received: 1 to 10, worse to best. There was a gadget in the email to
enter the number, and a SUBMIT button. That's it. I could view all this
in Claws through the Dillo plugin, but of course nothing is clickable.
So, would have to do the browser thing to respond. Not that I responded.
Too much a bother.
FWIW, all emails I get now from businesses, government agencies,
Windows users, etc. are HTML-based. Text-based has mostly gone the way
of the dodo.
