To be honest, the reason for HOF lists using only plain text has very much
to do with things like viruses. I will let Michael enlighten you on this
more, but dumping everything out to plain text ensures that:
a. messages are small, so we can handle a bigger load of subscribers and
runtime is quicker
b. when people try to send viruses to the list, they don't work. Instead,
they just get converted into text messages and nobody gets hurt. It's the
only sure-fire way, we've found, to keep the lists safe. And it can be very
funny when you see the vbs file laid out in front of you as text, basically
harmless now, but you can see how the virus would have worked and
everything. Not so funny if it was allowed access.
It does get annoying when the HTML coding, rendered as text, comes out in
the middle of a message, but I'm not sure what we can do about that except
to ask that people send their messages as text when sending to the list.
