I generally take this in the light spirit that it was posted in.  But
too I think it needs to be understood that on mailing lists and also
quite a few newsgroups HTML is strictly banned.  I think this is just
common courtesy, not only for bandwidth reasons, but also because there
are quite a few people out there who read their mail without having a
feature that strips html out of the text.  Evolution allows me to read
html messages, but the way they are formatted and presented is quite
annoying.  Straight text is much friendlier.
