There exist mailing list managers that handle email attachments, including
HTML.  One in particular that I've seen sends digests where each component
email is an attachment.  This means that HTML messages get the right MIME
type and (if your MUA can do it) will be displayed properly.  Naturally, I
can't remember the name of the software that did this, but I have seen it
and I believe it's one of the Open Source mailing list managers.

I'm still not fond of HTML email, but if it's properly done my email
client will handle it, so I've come to tolerate it.
