I don't understand that statement. If they use such a reader to
compose messages which I read, they *are* causing problems, since I
still have to receive and store it (at least temporarily) and it will
quite likely display garbage in my newsreader.

If you use your reader only to compose notes to yourself, make it as
fancy as you like.
