Andy...

With 700 hours a week of computer time, Plain Text should be a piece of
cake for you.

The overwhelming reason for demanding Plain Text with no attachments and
a moderated format is that there is no way to deliver viruses, mal-ware,
or spam to the users. Most, if not all email lists from Universities
use this approach. Yahoo Groups, Google Groups, etc., are NOT mailing
lists per se, but data aggregators, advertisers and data re-sellers.
You get what you pay for -- you get 'pretty', but 'pretty' doesn't
always mean good.

Mit Respekt,
jerome
