Many people do not receive HTML documents because either their email account will not display an HTML document, or they have simply turned off that aspect of their email account because they do not wish to view HTML documents in their email.

For whatever reason, that group of people makes up a fairly large group of email users. If you're sending your ad by way of HTML they will not see your email, and you'll lose a lot of potential customer.

Then you'd simply pushed the return bar and typing cylinder all the way to the right, and continue typing until the next bell. (Now I'm really dating myself.)

If you try to set-up your word processor's margins to do the same thing the typewriters of old did, it won't work quite the same way. You'll have to manually add carriage returns at the end of each line.
