The basic gist is this. We have to be anal otherwise there is no
conformity to a standard (even if the standard is arbitrary). Without
that conformity it is impossible to be productive on the list.

Right but just as a tip that is really not needed on a technical list.
Your words should be able to convey your meaning without the requirement
of a cosmetic modification. If it can't it would be better to post to a
pastebin or static web page and link a URL.
Just FYI most on this list probably never saw your HTML. They, like I
said have already turned off HTML email.
