I find the constant appearance of HTML e-mail here to be surprising. HTML improves nothing and adds risk. Why not have the mailing list censored down to ASCII?

Agreed. Although I would use the work "refined" not censored. Interestingly, Yahoo lists did an excellent job of stripping out such crapola and serving up useful ASCII. The other commercial mailing list services [Google, etc] don't offer it at all AFAIK. But Yahoo has been "improving" things... they call it NEO. As part of a larger disaster, they have removed that feature. <https://yahoo.uservoice.com/forums/209451-us-groups>
