Actually, the only reason I asked the question was that I had run across a font
(Nicole Regular) which I found attractive and thought my email recipients would
also.

With the editor set to always use HTML I would forget and compose an email to
this list in HTML, only to have the email rejected (which I saw on my next
fetch) with the sentence "The message's content type was not explicitly 
allowed."
I would then have to retrieve the email from my SENT folder, change it to plain
text and re-send it.  Have you ever deliberately sent an HTML email to this list
and had it go through?

My only concern in this regard is this list. I want the editor to always use
HTML (for all my other recipients) *EXCEPT* when writing to this list. None of
us like it when we're rejected (sniff):-(
