Please don't do that. Generally there should be no HTML posts to 
mailing lists at all, and most certainly not HTML-only! This is your 
second such post. I'm probably not the only one here who deletes such 
mail, unread.

What is surprising to me is that Thunderbird creates such mail, 
especially knowing, as it does, that it's a post to a mailing list.
