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.
Patent nonsense. Apparently, you mailer not only sends emails as HTML, but also converts incoming mails to HTML; in reality, there are no HTML tags in any mails on the list except yours.
Let's try it different way. Can your wonderful mailer at least handle binary attachments without messing them up? I've attached the raw text of your last mail, and the Chuck's mail you were replying to. Apart from differences in the "Received" fields in the header and such, everybody on the list gets the messages in this form. Now, save the attachments, and open them in a plain text editor. (You are apparently on Windows, thus text editor means Notepad, for example. _Not_ Word.) Can you see the difference?
