Same here. Elm showing it's age perhaps Ti...
I have elm configured to spawn metamail which then invokes lynx for HTML mail, so it works fine. However the general comment still holds true: there is no good reason to send HTML mail to a mailing list like this.
I tend to agree with you: html adds no extra info to a mail, other than changeing the signal/noise ratio in an unfavorable way (although my mail client kmail did not show any html at all, became aware by the replies in this thread). The (strongly) preferred way of posting in mailinglists and newsgroups is usually text-only. Cheers, Leen
