That is the real issue here, those who know better. For the most part, and this is a guess, most who send html emails are newbies. I will go further and say that this is likely not just to Zope. Zope is FREE and in it's most minimal uses, very SIMPLE to manage for anyone. What attracts newbies? SIMPLE and FREE... What I am saying is I am of the school of gently pointing "violators" to somewhere or something useful in changing the behavior. Telling them to stop may work for some, others may not know how to turn it off and are embarrassed to ask and they need to be shown, by a tutorial or someone taking the time to explain it. In any case, our attitude should be that of ambassadors of list etiquette, because we want the list to grow and we want new users of Zope. -- Jeffrey D.

Well Web developers should know best when not to use HTML ;)

Is it not a bit ironic that a mailing list about a web development system has such a strong policy against HTML e-mail.
(Not that I disagree, html email is, whether one is concerned about legibility, bandwidth, security, or privacy, an unadulterated evil. But still, there is a tinge of irony).
