With all respect, many people use command line mail clients that 
inherently cannot support HTML mail.  Not everyone is in a position 
where they can use a mail client that supports HTML.  Besides, it's just 
general good manners, and if anything, good practice, to send posts that 
are readable by the largest possible audience.  It's not like a whole 
bunch of spiffy HTML tags are going to enhance one's message any.  
Spiffed up text or not, the posting to the list is all about 
communication between multiple individuals who share a common interest.  
Where does making your text look cool fall into getting your message 
across?  Especially when to some, it's more of a hinderence than 
anything else.  I'm not saying HTML mail is bad at all.  Like all 
things, there are times to use it, and times to not use it.
