Hi all,

     HTML is inappropriate for mailing lists.  It isn't a speech or mailer 
issue.  It bloats the size of the messages.  Some folks are on slow links 
and don't need to spend the extra time downloading it.  And it isn't just 
the blind oriented lists who dislike it.  Just try posting that crap to 
any of the Red Hat Linux lists and you'll wish for Ann's kindness and 
gentleness.
