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.
