As to spam, I find that my visual system is a wonderful instrument for
ignoring it.  On the newsgroups I browse, I ignore most of the
postings that are not spam, so ignoring spam is not a large additional
burden.

As to HTML, I agree with some others in this company that in email &
newsgroups it is an almost sure sign of spam.  It is true that in some
mailing lists people reply with a default that dishes out the HTML for
you to skip over after you have read the plain text; but that is
merely ignorance & rudeness, like not deleting the irrelevant parts of
what is being replied to; it is annoying, but it is not an
overwhelming nuisance, and it is not Gnus's fault.
