Well, not that this really matters, but I need a web-accessible mail
account, so I use gmail.  I actually find it so useful that I probably
wouldn't switch back to a normal POP account even if my need for
webmail went away.

I say it doesn't matter because it is commonly accepted that html
mails should not be sent to public mailing lists.

That said, I will normally let simple html messages slide.  Heck, in
many cases with gmail, I can't tell the difference between an html and
a plain text message.  This case was (painfully) obvious however.
