Maybe you missed this part:
"Also, HTML email takes up more space, so people with restricted
internet access will be happier to receive plain text emails."

Yes, and I'm sure that you'll agree that it /IS/ possible for you to
turn off the HTML.  Therefore, your refusal to do so indicates a desire
to flaunt the rules of the road.  Were there netkops around you would
certainly be ticketed!   ;-]

I, for one, won't be seeing your posts in the future since you seem
determined to defy the clearly stated and obviously useful conventions
which allow users world-wide (with metered internet access) to use the
list effectively.

That seems a shame because you do have interesting things to say.
