Many people will "deal with it" by deleting your messages and moving
on.  Just so you know.

For me, your messages seem OK.  Mutt is presenting me with readable
text.  I don't know what other people are seeing.  However, if you're
intentionally flaunting the guidelines and standards that make mailing
lists work, you can expect a smaller audience for your requests.
Greg, what I saw is Rich Text Format [1], different from html.  I suspect Mutt (as well as gmail) presents it as it, without issue.  But, unfortunately, not all email reader software would see it properly.
