Thank you, Kazar, for your defense. But actually, I do use Yahoo mail because Yahoo bought Bellsouth's email several years ago (fortunately, because I've moved several times and it is a pain to switch when one has so much invested in an email address).
Yes, I had to study to find out how to switch, even though it is rather obvious now. But the main point is that if Yahoo receives HTML mail, it wants to send HTML; and likewise with plain text. So if plain text is what the "list" wants, it should send that. Since the list sends in HTML, I, therefore take it that the list wants HTML.
These Drupal lists often contain code snippets, which are frequently formatted to distinguish them from descriptive text. Plain text removes that distinction and can make the whole post more difficult to read. Nancy Injustice anywhere is a threat to justice everywhere. -- Dr. Martin L. King, Jr.

Please refrain from sending HTML e-mail to lists. It is not *recommended*, often discouraging to read your reply though it is valuable. I hope the list moderators will look into it (if anyone around).
This is a losing battle. If mailing lists are offered as support forums for the public, it must be recognized that many, if not most, email programs by default send html or rtf emails, or they are using web email such as gmail or yahoo
Anyway, the person you chose to pick on does use Yahoo mail
