Note that the mailing list engine will reject html only email, html is fine as
long at it is created with text/plain alternative.

Note that only the text/plain alternative will be used to construct the archive,
and I will not ever work on trying to render properly an html only formatted
thing via the archiver, it will require too many escaping and madness to be done
safely, I will simply drop the ball to someone else here ;)
