A customer once sent me a mail that set my left and right brains at war.
I saw before I opened it that the thing was around 150 K, and was not amused.*
Then I opened the 4 line message and was indeed relaxed by the truly lovely background scene of blue sky and turquoise water and small sandy islands with palm trees and chaise lounges.
And I must say that the waving smiley face by the "Hi, [Val]" and the smiley face with the turban and the crystal ball showing a question mark illustrating the gentleman's confusion did bring a smile to my face.
So here I was on the one hand tikked about the size of a message bearing little more than a "thanks for your message but I'm still a little confused by this bit here" but on the other hand I had an undeniably pleasant moment actually looking at his mail.
I decided to leave my editorial comments to the fact that I replied in plaintext.
*Note that this isn't a dialup thing but an always near my mailbox size limit thing.
