You don't have to endure it.  Strip it out using procmail if you find
it useless.  I would use the more elegant PGP/MIME style of PGP
signatures, but the support for that years-old-RFC is sadly lacking in
too many mail clients and list software (mailman just fixed a bug in
that area not more than a few months ago).  So I use the uglier (to
those without any PGP software installed) inline style.

I'd still argue that HTML mail is almost always pointless.  But that's
just my opinion (and I realize some would say the same for PGP sigs).

In the end, I just dump HTML to text and go about my day.  I don't
spend much time moaning about HTML mail, I've solved it as well as I
can on my end and the only time I mention it to others is to explain
how to strip it out or to point out to those sending HTML that this
lists' guidelines ask you not to send.
