We don't reject or munge non-plain-text mail at the moment, and it is unlikely that we'd do so in the future. As it stands, spamassassin gives naughty-points to mail in strange formats, so more often than not, we'd catch very suspicious stuff in our Mailman moderation queue. It is far better to achieve mail cleanliness through social means [1]. Often enough, rejected HTML mails would be from new users, unfamiliar with the list, who may be offended or disappointed at such a draconian response to what "normal" people would not describe as a problem. :-) Plus, playing munging games with your mail is a decision better left with you. :-) - Jeff [1] Dear New List Subscriber, I can see that you are posting in HTML format. Many users of this list will not read your mail if it is in this format, so you may prefer to post in plain-text. There is a page describing how to set your mailer up <here>.
