I agree that HTML mails are more noise than signal. Most other
attachements are probably, too. For example, WojPob's icon attachment
was certainly well-meant, but not really useful to the members of this
list who are not Bomis admins (i.e. the large majority).

But I'm also guilty of attaching cryptographic signatures to my mails. 
This makes sense from my viewpoint, but if people here find that
annoying, I can turn them off for posting to Wikipedia-L. Unlike X.509
"signatures", PGP's output is quite compact, though...
