I did not understand what unsub means.
Unsubscribe. I would turn off my list membership. I do not wish to received HTML mail, .. Most html mail is spam, and most html mail is dropped by my aggressive spamfilters. If this list went HTML, I wold miss many messages, so I might as well unsubscribe.
I would probably not be alone.
As far as links go, your MUA should see them and make them clickable even without html mail, I'm sure someone here can make some recommendations for your platform...
I have no idea what MUA means.

Hmm.. Inline images might have been useful in our discussions about sexual images on wikipedia, I suppose... :)
I can't figure what you mean.
HTML allows you to put pictures inside emails, not just links. It can be abused to show you images that you don't like. I would have found it amusing to abuse that feature when we were discussing blocking images, although I would not have actually done it. Other people might, and it is a reason you should not want html mail.
If I may dare say... this mailing list is international. It would be helpful if people made an effort so as to be understandable to more people.
It is a general comment, not limited to you only. Maybe I am a bit stupid these days.
I find this amusing: I used "MUA" in an effort to be clear since I knew the acronym was the same in all languages.
HTML email can exclude people in much the same way that using obscure English words can confuse non-native readers, except it is far easier and less harmful to avoid HTML than it is to avoid English that is difficult for nonnative readers of english.
