Still true, but it seems to have caught on, lately... If we manage to try this, it'll be using AP as a transport layer and still requiring plain-text and RFC5322 (or 822/2822) plain-text messages compatible with git-am. That would allow SpamAssassin or similar to perform spam filtering w/o modification. Allowing markup or images from arbitrary posters is a nightmare in terms of spam, phishing and illegal content, though; so normal mailing list etiquette still applies.
