Sounds like a good plan.

HTML e-mail looks like crap when viewed in software that doesn't support
this "feature." The mailing lists I run don't accept e-mail in HTML
format. We'd rather focus on content instead of glitz, and it's important 
to us have all of the list postings look ok on everybody's screen.

That's just my opinion, of course. I'm sure there will be others with
different priorities. :-)

Take care,
