I can read HTML mail just fine and I'm not using a browser as my MUA.  It
is, however, unnecessarily slow since it has to render.

I'm subscribed to ietf-announce.  I would prefer that the I-D traffic go
to a separate mailing list.  I've considered splitting it out that way
myself in the past, since generally I'm only interested in the non-I-D
traffic (which includes RFCs, last calls, meeting announcements, working
group formation notices, and status notifications, all of which I am
interested in reading).
