No wanting to be seen as a "net cop" or anything, but just because a mail 
client can handle HTML, doesn't mean HTML is appropriate for a mail list.

Personally, my mail server (I have my own) strips all the HTML out of 
messages to this and other lists and re-renders them in plain text.  Works 
really well in fact.

Gotta admit though, HTML (although evil in email) is still several orders of 
magnitude LESS evil than MS-Rich Text (aka TNEF).

Cheers,

James
