Yes. It is better to have some guidelines and being informed up front when joining the list than having to remind each and every person, "do this, do that, don't do this, don't use attachments, don't X post" etc...
I vote for mandating interleaved posting and non-html mail. The non-html is because, looking at code, especially python code, in a variable width font is painful and interleaved posting because it just is the most natural manner to carry on a conversation with more than one person.
...and for people who think that nobody can tell them how they should post would be also spared any comments from me (and possibly others too). Everybody wins !
