Don't get me wrong Tom. I'm perfectly fine with receiving emails in HTML format. It's just that a few years ago, when I sent emails with HTML formatting, Debian User Mailing List rejected them outright. It took me quite a while - about at least two months - trying to figure out why my sent HTML-formatted emails were rejected.

I am OK as long as Debian User Mailing List now accepts HTML-formatted emails.
