So it might be hard for some people to send a plain text message without
also sending the same message as an HTML attachment.  I don't know how the
list software works, but this would be a good argument for having the mlug
list server delete HTML attachments from messages.  Otherwise, we'll be
stuck with them.  Of course, we pine/mutt users can just read the plain
text version of the message (e.g., in pine, hit V then select the version
to view), but it's still annoying that two versions of the same message
are being sent and the HTML is usually unnecessarily large.
