Many if's.  Good response, although you wasted your breath, IMHO.

My response is simpler, and doesn't involve going through another round of
the HTML vs plaintext argument, to which he will pay no nevermind, leaving
us banging our heads on the desk in frustration.  It's not like the last
five to ten forays into this territory made any sort of dent, anyway.  
So...

     ##### I'll see your HTML and raise you a /dev/null
     $senders{'SmittyUSN1'}->plonk;

Problem solved.

This solution and all derivative works may be copied freely.  Proliferation
of same is indeed encouraged where deemed necessary and/or desirable.
