Cohousing-L Mailing List: List Servers non-support of HTML

Here's another gripe about list servers: lists hosted on them seem never
to support HTML.  I don't know whether that's a deficiency of the server
software, or just a choice that is conventionally made by the admins.
But formatting can be such an important part of communicating
effectively, and almost all email clients support HTML by now.
(Although admittedly I don't know for sure about support on cell phones
and PDAs...)

Note the comments below by Sheila Braun (in another conversation
thread).

Sheila's comments:

Sorry to be so vague, Greg. I had a lot of trouble posting that table to
the cohousing list, as the list doesn't accept html and I couldn't get
the table into text format in any reliable way. After about 45 minutes
of work I finally just slapped a paragraph onto the beginning and sent
it off any old way, hoping that people would be able to figure out how
to reformat the data.
