In fact, I choose to disable the HTML mail features of my software.  
As was pointed out, it's considered a waste of bandwidth, and some 
places consider it rude.

BTW, speaking of rude, this really wasn't much of a flame war.  Very 
politely discussed by most parties, and informative too.

In fact, most of the messages are NOT in HTML format.  Which is what 
I would expect from a list that's devoted to the use of a non-
graphical operating system...

True enough, these mailers are free.  However, I still choose to send 
and receive e-mail in plain text.
