Indeed I do, when mailing webmasters who actively request commentary
on their site, and are lynx-ugly with "[IMAGE] This is our [INLINE]
Enjoy our whole site [ISMAP]" etc.

Usually webmasters who've requested commentary mare more open to correcting
problems their site generates for lynx and Other Browsers (whatever they
weren't using).  Of course, being steeped in HTML, I try to offer details
that are constructive, so it probably helps the presentation :)

In more limited circumstances I do have it quoted, but blow off all except
the relevant parts, similar to email.
