Email was and is designed for plain text - mailing lists were and are
designed for plain text. The fact that an attachment can be made to an
email that duplicates the information (but bloated) doesn't mean the
facility should be used.

Stripping out the garbage for archiving is also a real pain - one of the
reasons mailman can be so fragile these days.

Why anyone would want to put any fancy formatting into an email that
requires html beats me. Its like top posting - its just wrong!
