Using HTML in e-lists can cause messages to not be received.  Some 
e-mail clients cannot receive HTML.  And some users prefer to turn HTML 
off in the client's preferences.  I do.  Also, HTML adds to the 
bandwidth required to handle e-mail.  In some countries, this means 
more time on the recipient's connection to internet service which 
translates directly to cost of that service.

At the lowendmac.com web site, there is an excellent description of 
"netiquette."

These guidelines do not apply strictly to themacintoshguy lists, but it 
is still best to keep them in mind, for all concerned.
