When used improperly, which is more common, HTML makes them look 
a lot worse, even when viewed on a reader that supports HTML.

What enhanced readability most is when senders pay attention to 
what they are sending, trim the quotes, leave the ">" there so 
the better readers will color them nicely. 

Replying on top and including the whole message you reply to on 
the bottom makes the worst looking emails, especially after a 
chain of those where it builds up.  Usually, that seems to go 
along with HTML mail.

The list should reject mail containing the following:
=======================
geda-user mailing list
geda-user@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx
http://www.seul.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/geda-user
=======================

This list is much better than most others in this respect.
MUCH better.  Let's keep it that way.
