All mail to the list was being sent through but HTML was converted to 
plain text before. Now those HTML mails are being sent through as is. In 
other words, I leave the filtering of HTML mails to the end user. As far 
as I know some high traffic mailing lists work this way too (like the 
kernel mailing lists). Leaving the filtering to the end user also 
implies kindly nudging any list member who sends HTML mail by asking to 
send in plain text the next time.
