  • I remember the transition from plain-text emails to HTML emails. I fought tooth and nail to keep my email fully plain-text because it offered almost 70-80% storage savings. This was when email quotas were measured in megabytes.

    Then Gmail came along and made HTML the standard email because they offered 2 GBs of space.

    The rest is history.
