Bear in mind that even within the IETF, plenty of people view the entire 
HTML email debate as flogging the proverbial dead horse, and when it 
rolls around every several months, welcomes it in the same way that you 
might welcome an outbreak of cold sores.

Looking at this from a different perspective, in the twenty-something 
years of discussion since Content-Type: text/html first appeared, have 
any actionable and viable suggestions emerged about how to deal with 
html email, other than stripping it off in the archived emails?

Maybe the people who are upset about html email could form a working 
group, take the discussion there and write up an ID with observations 
and recommendations for html emails at the ietf?
