Hmm, pine clears out the HTML just fine.  Even renders hyperlinks. And
lets face it, you can't get more basic then PINE.  Also Mozilla, Kmail,
Balsa, and Sylpheed all handle HTML without an issue.  While I agree
that it can be annoying and a waste of space, it should not keep some
one from posting.

That said, it is a general rule of etiquette that many people consider
important, so if you need help turning the HTML off please ask and we
will be their for you.  If your like me and switch things up on a
regular basis and simply forget to turn it off, well, hopeful no one
here will kill you for it...  After all I am still alive and I do it all
the time, I even top post and they have not kicked me out yet :)

That would be awesome. :) Unfortunately, no one had the courage to do
so. :(
