[Mailman-Users] Footer message in html email

[Customer & Technical Support]

         HTML in email sucks.  If I want to see a damn web page I'll go to 
the URL.  Most people use HTML to dress up spam or otherwise hide the fact 
that they had nothing worthwhile to say anyway.  I filter ALL HTML out of 
any mail I get.  Its extremely unprofessional to use.
