If there were no malware, worms, viruses, trojans, bots, spam, phishing,
etc., then I could do more of what I was originally hired for, to help
researchers with their computer needs.
And they could spend their time doing science rather than figuring out why
their computer is acting strange.

I was busy enough, long before the internet existed.

When I finally convince a user to stop using HTML for e-mail, their
problems get much less frequent.

As for text being hard to read, if in thunderbird you turn on
mail.wrap_long_lines
and
view_source.wrap_long_lines

you should be able to read the text without horizontal scrolling.

Sometimes to reply, you will need 'rewrap' the quoted text.
