I just registered at the BT website, my interest in ADSL, and got this mail back....

So, then attempted to send a mail in return expressing my annoyance and requesting a text only version. And got this...

Why send out an email I can not read, with a return address that I can not respond to, with no option to use plain text emails? So I sent a snotty letter to postmaster@ asking them to forward it to the relevant dept., or take action themselves. I bet it'll go straight to the bit-bucket that is:

mv snottymail > /dev/null

94% done on the Moody Blues, yay.
