We don't add irritation - it's already there. Btw, maybe time to bug your
friends at google that an option to turn off html postings for the GMail
android app would be nice ;)
That said, filtering any non text/plain mail into spam keeps me off most
spam. Thus be warned when you try to get patches in non text/plain
sent to me ;)
I strongly prefer to keep the restriction in place.
