We prefer that you don't send them; those of us who can't read them will
just be annoyed, and those of us who can will also be annoyed because
HTML-formatted email looks awful.  :)

It is bad etiquette in general to post HTML-formatted news articles or
send HTML-formatted email without the general acceptance of the group to
which it is sent.

You are the first person I've ever seen who's asked _before_ doing it. 
For this I thank you.
