I was going to avoid this thread but there's one thing
missing from the HTML mail discussion:

<tip type="HTML Mail">
There are a lot of system administrators who feel the same
negative way as I do about HTML mail.  DJC is one (so don't
bother trying to send HTML to thelist), and anyone who
(a) agrees with him and (b) runs her office Exchange server,
can shut your HTML mail out at the front door with a
single click of the mouse.
