Even assuming (but let's not) that htmlized messages just aren't
worth reading, rich-texted messages are both hard to read and hard to
filter in digest mode, and the list manager tells us that 682 of 813
subscribers -- also known as 84-ish percent -- are getting the digest.
Barry's right. If your e-mail client is encouraging you to write
e-mails with bold, blue, flashing characters, do go to the
preferences and tell it to stop...
