     May I propose an inductive hypothesis, akin to Godwin's Law[1]:
     As time passes on any email list configured to accept HTML email,
     the
     probability of the occurrence of the[2] HTML/ASCII email
     conversation
     approaches 1.

     [2] Note the intentional use of "the" to signify a singular
     conversation, as the substance of this conversation is always the
     same, though the outcome depends wholly on the constitution of any
     particular list's constituents.
