Ask first!! Then if person accepts, then send HTML. I can read it and I WANT IT!! This is 
especially important to friend invitations. I want HTML. Plain Text is a pain. Just ask first, 
and if they say yes. Let's stop trying to force nettiqueete down people's throats!!! It is Hitler 
like...It is not just to ask, and then send.

Have Fun,
