One word of warning on assuming all html mail is bad. Some of us are on
corporate email systems, subject to pointless arbitrary changes to our
settings. About a year ago, my preferences in Lotus Notes (a bad database
program masquerading as a worse mail program) were modified to have me
send mail to the internet in html format. I didn't even know it was
happening, until i started getting nasty messages from people's mail
systems saying my mail was being rejected because it contained html
formatting, on which point I threw myself a message to my home address to
verify it, and searched out the preferences setting to turn it back to
text....
...Point being, if we do decide to reject all html-formatted email, let's
have it bounce with explanation, not just fall into a black hole.
It saddens me to know that blocking all of Korea is the right thing to do.
Maybe if more things like this

happen, things will change.

Greetings list admins
I'd just like to add that as almost all the SPAM I receive is HTML, a very
effective way to get rid of a very large fraction of spam would be to
refuse
all HTML posts. I've not seen any genuine posts to this list which have
been
web pages.

Sincerely etc.,
