I will be very curious to see if *anyone* can take up this challenge!
HTML mail has no justification, and is not even in the author's
interest, since many people reading a lot of mailing list msgs
every day may simply say "what the hell" and hit the delete key.

This is number #2 in my pet hates.
#1 is people who do not use meaningful Subject: lines...

As stated before a subject of "HELP!!!!" is suitable if you wish to
be saved from a burning house, not if you want to know how to get
your firewall rules to work...
