Being also old enough to honour hysterical raisins, I also submit that
it is not reasonable to demand that use of the prime email format (plain
text, fixed width) be banned.
Everyone can use this fundamental email format, even if they don't use it
exclusively, as some of us do. While I have incoming HTML automatically
converted to plain text (fixed width font) for viewing, some do not
accept it at all, as can be seen in the sig, below.
So, no apologies offered for offering help in a long-standing standard
format.

Incidentally, I succeeded in sending a small circuit as a PDF attachment
on this list on the second. (But the response didn't warrant a repeat of
the effort.)
