Well, seeing as it's missing the only element absolutely required in
all HTML documents (title), I agree... :-)

It's not HTML coded email that I dislike - it's generated HTML that

it's just that nobody bothers to do it. Grr.

These messages were posted a long time ago on a mailing list far, far away. The copyright to their contents probably lies with the original authors of the individual messages, but since they were published in an electronic forum that anyone could subscribe to, and the logs were available to subscribers and most likely non-subscribers as well, it's felt that re-publishing them here is a kind of public service.
