Nothing sudden about it. List rules for LEM lists have always required it <http://www.lowendmac.com/lists/netiquette.shtml>, try reading them.
For those of you arguing that anyone's machine can display HTML and styled text, that's not the point. One of the posts that triggered this came through in huge blue letters on my system. In the past, some posters have sent HTML that displayed as fine print only a lawyer could love. The point of using plain text is to allow each subscriber control display parameters at his/her end as best suits them, rather than to force them to wade through annoying or unreadable fonts.
Try being considerate of others, it works wonders.
