I request that people post plain messages in ascii (plain text) instead of
huge blocks of html code.

A few well chosen words communicate far better than the long blocks of code
that have been appearing in recent posts. 

It could be a problem in the default settings of some email programs -- I
gather Microsoft Outlook has some bad habits if you don't control them.
This also happens in several programs when you copy and paste html pages
direct from the web to an emailer.

Eventually, cluttered communication on a list reduces the willingness and
interest of people in taking part. In contrast, good communication and well
written messages enhance the quality of a list and increase participation.
