Reasonable, or no, it would involve changes in the way vger handles the mailing lists and that is very unlikely to happen. These lists have a long tradition of being plain text and there is also a long tradition of not changing how things work just because somebody comes along with a broken client. IMNSHO changing the list to fix a broken client will only serve to encourage more broken clients. And that would not be a Good Thing. -- http://yosemitephotos.net/
