Cf. Boswell in 'Mason & Dixon':
 
"think [...] how much shapely Expression, from the titl'd Gambler, the Barmaid's Suitor,
the offended Fopling, the gratified Toss-Pot, is simply fading away upon the Air, out 
under the Door, into the Evening and the Silence beyond. All those voices. Why not
pluck a few words from the multitudes rushing toward the Void of forgetfulness?" (p. 747)
 
... which is just a fancy way of saying "keep up the good work, Dave!" - even if it's in
Hungarian (there are other p-listers than Americans in here, after all). 
 
Having said that, I think Tim should keep up his little plain text campaign - it's 
actually helped a lot already, and I believe that for the most part, the occasional
rich text message is due more to a moment's thoughtlessness (of which I've also been
guilty) than any conscious rebellion.
