I'm not sure it's written down anywhere, but in general we strongly discourage
HTML email for the lists @python.org

docs is a different mailing list than python-dev, but still neither list is
doing any content filtering.  We could always enable that if we wanted to get
strict about it.

In this case, this isn't html email, it's likely this bug:
