/me chuckles.

For the benefit of the 75% or so who don't realize this, let me point
out that *this has been the standard (for very good reasons, almost
none of which are subject to personal taste) for almost 25 years*.

If you are participating in a mailing list which does not *explicitly
request* HTML email, you should do everything in your power to make
sure you are sending a) text emails which are b) quoted *properly*, and
you c) trim down the message you're replying to to a reasonable size.

If you care whether anyone's reading your replies, that is.

If your mail client makes any of these things difficult, replace it;
the 2000 of us reading really don't much care.
