It's worth noting that HTML, MIME, etc., are explicitly banned from
Dan's lists.  Around thirty people, however, regularly ignore Dan's
request - including some regulars who I would normally expect to
behave better.

Dan is a low-enforcement 'police yourselves' kind of guy who seems to
prefer keeping a low profile on these matters, making it all the more
embarrassing when he finally is roused to comment.

Mixed text/HTML posts are not only against the wishes of our host,
they're anti-social, potentially dangerous, and deleted on arrival
here.  So if anyone's waiting for an answer from me - check your
email settings.
