If I understand the history correctly:

- All early email lists were text only

- After some long time people started sending mixed format emails to lists

- Shortly afterwards list administrators asked people to not send mixed 
format emails

- Since then people either in ignorance of list etiquette or ignorance 
of their mailer properties kept on sending mixed format emails to lists

The problem is mostly because users have email software that 
automatically uses mixed format. That's not their fault as they are 
probably unaware of the problem.

List administrators have the ability to ban users who violate etiquette 
and in this list actively do so. Banning a user for using mixed format 
in violation of list etiquette is obviously not an option.

Unless there is a compelling reason to accept mixed format ( HTML ) I 
can't see why the list can't filter submissions to text only - which is 
the list policy anyway - and by doing so provide education to users 
about what the list format is.
