Oliver,

I was trying to stay out of this, but I have to agree with Carla on this
one.  HTML email has no place in a mailing list.  You should have the
ability to declare the Astlinux user email address as a non-html recipien=
t
and force lookout to sent plain text emails.  Several reasons:

1).  The messages look plain ugly/unreadable in the archives.
2).  There is no benefit to html email in a mailing list and therefore it
causes wasted bandwidth.
3).  The security risks.


There ARE places for html email.  A mailing list is just not one of them.
