I would encourage that, but please don't just dump HTML messages, bounce them with the specific reason. That might improve the breed.
I looked at some of my emails to this mailing list, and I found the following HTML tags: a few standard tags at the front to establish that it was an HTML message, and to start the body. A BR tag at the end of each line in the body of the text, and some DIV tags where I skipped lines.
Then I looked at your email, this one where you complained that I was using HTML. I found the following HTML tags: a few standard tags at the front to establish that it was an HTML message, and to start the body. A BR tag at the end of each line in the body of the text. The only difference was that there were no DIV tags. However, there was still pretty much one tag for every line in the file.
In this forum, people apparently prefer > signs at the start of each line of quoted text. In fact, some people insist on that. You might not realize this, but those line divisions are achieved by using BR tags.
As far as I can see, roughly the same amount of HTML is generated in your emails as in my emails. I can make it exactly equal by not skipping any lines. Would you prefer that? Would it be easier for you if my answers were always in a solid block of text without any blank lines separating paragraphs?
Let me give that a test. Here is my answer repeated without the blank lines: I looked at some of my emails to this mailing list, and I found the following HTML tags: a few standard tags at the front to establish that it was an HTML message, and to start the body.
