My opinion, Footer.

Not often.

Not I, said the little red hen.

I guess the option would be nice, but I'm not sure if it'll add
anything.  Since many won't get it in HTML you'd still be stuck with
simple formatting if you want everybody to read it.

(As an aside - I've never understood the "war" against HTML email/NNTP
posts. It seems the perfect solution to me: a text only, non proprietary
method for adding truly rish formatting to email?  Sounds great to me.)

I guess the one that I sometimes would like is the ability to add
attachments to the message (code chunks, images, docs, etc).  I know
it's a can of worms and would increase storage requirements, but it
would be very useful in quite a few cases.

If this was done however I would suggest only keeping the attachment in
the archives and not sending it with the message - a link in the message
body would be enough for me and would eliminate the giant bandwidth jump
caused by sending all participants attachments.

I'll also throw my hat in the ring as being pro UseNet - I'd much rather
participate via NNTP.  It's not a deal-breaker by any means (I'm here!)
but it would be very nice.
