We appear to have been the intended recipients (?), so it looks like
it's fair game.

Yep, I can confirm that there are employers who do that. Law firms
appear to be especially fond of the practice (law firms doing
something utterly inane; imagine that).

If it shuts down the to-HTML-or-not-to-HTML thread, I'm all for it.
Might even consider getting Pete back on the list, just so he can
leave every time another rhetorical topic comes up. Speaking of
which, anyone have the URL for the
reply-to-munging-considered-life-threatening page? I was describing
it to a particular list server developer, and he didn't believe that
the page was for real. I want him to see for himself.

IMO, you'd be setting the bar for entry a little high. I try to tune
the filters to block only those things that the user has control over
-- such as long signatures (of the voluntary variety) and poor
quoting practices. But to each his own. After all, there's a reason
that there are many different lists -- and many different list
owners. <g>
