The response from students has been well everyone seems to hate it.
Students can now use HTML to format their messages bold, italics, graphics, etc.
This allows for more interesting and eye-appealing documents, than just plain text. Last semester the majority of messages were submitted in HTML format. Students can respond to the sender of the e-mail, not the mailing list. With immediate form you can now reply directly to the sender. File attachments can now be sent through notices and marketplace.
