That's fine -- you don't have to use HTML Email.   And the list wont send
it to you either.  The issue was that subscribers who DID use HTML email
would have their (legitimate) messages stripped and subscribers to the
list would only see an empty message.  Now that HTML email is properly
converted to a plain-text message so you can read it.

That is all.
