Hi Steve

Apart from anything else, sending HTML is against the T&Cs of this list. 

"Please do not use HTML to format messages ... not everyone has a HTML
enabled message reader and the extra text can (and does) cause some
mail readers to truncate messages."

In my case, although my mail program can display HTML posts (it can't 
send them ,though) I keep the feature turned off. Getting HTML spam that 
has image links back to the originating server can confirm they have an 
active address :( 

Regards, Martin
