In a perfect world, each user should have several
options, namely:
(a) if I post in HTML, should the listserver change
it to plain text?
(b) if I post in plain text, should the listserver
change it to HTML?
(c) if I post an attachment [bigger than x bytes],
should the listserver eliminate it?
(d) if someone posts in HTML, should the listserver
send it to me in HTML, in plain text, or eliminate it?
(e) if someone posts in plain text, should the
listserver sent it to me in HTML, in plain text, or
eliminate it?
(f) if someone posts an attachment [bigger than
x bytes, of file type .<extension>, etc] should
the listserver send it to me, or filter it, or
filter it and the message that used it?
But as long as we live in a real world, it seem
that the best policy is each one of us sending
_only_ plain text and no attachments.
