+1 for mandatory plain text. HTML mail is for newsletters, but as soon
as you try to reply to a section of someone else's mail, it breaks down
to chaos. My observation is that mail clients tend to handle it
differently, and screwing up each other (and their users) in the process.
And setting font color for each responses doesn't scale well, it's just
a band-aid. (and kid themed band-aids could be actually pretty cool, so
it's worse than band-aid)
If we could enforce everyone using the same mail client, HTML would
work, but that's not the case here.

All,
A topic that comes up occasionally that affects some mail tools like
outlook is that html email on this list makes it harder for some folks
to process patches.
I use mutt specifically to avoid using a fancy email client for all my
patch download/send work, it is powered by coal/steam and would work
fine on a 1970 VAX but there you go.
Anyway, does anyone object to having mailman reject HTML mail ? One up
side is that I will not waste time blocking offers of cheap watches and
fax services from the list :)
On the other hand I will miss bullet lists and the color red when I am
grumpy.
