Hey Dan,

We could install something to remove RTF and HTML formatting.

The biggest issue with this is that it will never be completely reliable.

I'm more interested in asking the list in general to police themselves

Unfortunately for those with electronic tethers, their email clients
sometimes lack this ability.

This basic etiquette is covered in the list charter:
