Kae,

Whilst I see some value in this idea as with all reasonable ideas it is 
a double edged sword.

Supposing some person requesting help with Linux was to post a HTML only 
mail, they never see it hitting the list.  However if it hits the list 
the html gets stripped and then user gets a chance to check out why and 
might just figure out how to get to the list with their real request.

Perhaps Kae would like to build on this idea.

Regards,

Paul
