I do not want to experience some malicious person doing that on a mailing list! And what does/can HTML bring extra to an email?
1-typically triples the size of its content 2-can enable malicious content 3-enables imposing mousetype on the reader 4-complicates string search directly through raw mail directories
To be honest, Felix's summary really catches everything. This is a technically focused mailing list which doesn't need any graphics or typewriting fancies, can't we really not restrict the list servers to remove any HTML parts of an e-mail? It's technically possible... and helps to reduce ... I don't go any further as it might become really ugly then - at least in so called social media environments!
The mail servers have been updated to allow html mails, after decades of not allowing it. Welcome change :-) -- Cheers / Saludos, Carlos E. R. (from 15.4 x86_64 at Telcontar)
