I seem to recall that the list administrator said a while back that the
servers hosting the list would be 'relocated' or some such, and at that time
there was a possibility of some 'html-stripping' software being added. Seems
like in an era of proliferating viri that would be a good plan even if there
weren't posts clogging the digest. I know that some list members have no
option to turn off the html, so this would seem to be a fair way of dealing
with it... if we can all wait patiently.
