Oh I get HTML e-mails.  But, message mail lists doesn't need HTML.

That’s 5x the storage of a BD-R disc and it can be rewritten thousands of times.  Unlike DVD drives, Blu-Ray drives are relatively uncommon on personal computers, making BD-R discs unappealing as data distribution media.

I personally don't.  I use HDDs, lots of them.  The OP appears to use DVDs
for storage.  BDs store more.
