Agree.

Disagree. Plain text only. HTML only e-mail drives me nuts. I use elm
to read my e-mail. I'm currently telnet'd into my box (I only allow this
IP to get through the firewall :-) to read my e-mail. Having HTML only
will cause grief if I respond. Also, depending on how the HTML is assembled,
elm will refuse to display the message.
Most mail lists ban HTML e-mail in any form.

Agree.
It would also be great of RedHat put [RHL] on the front of the Subject line
on the main list, and other abbreviations in front of the other lists. I am
on lots of e-mail lists and RH is the ONLY list that doesn't have this
indication, which mixes it up with all the other e-mail that I get.
