HTML mail is a low-profile DoS attack, wasting other people's resources. Sending it to people who didn't ask for it is truly antisocial behavior.

Oh, the other day I got a letter from my mother

But this is not relevant to a mailing list. Sure, your mom sends you an html email that is 150K instead of 2K. No big deal.

Now, someone sends an html email to a mailing list, and 8,000 people get 150K instead of 2K.

Big Deal.
