There are more serious concerns occasioned by Indigo's difficulty than
those of us who are moderately annoyed by MIME messages and other HTML
inconveniences: there may be people reading this listserv who have
difficulty seeing/reading and have to magnify text to a much greater size
than the rest of us do.  See http://www.cast.org for more information about
web design for people with disabilities.  This issue is of vital importance
to anyone who designs webpages for museums--the webpage should be as
accessible as the musem itself! CAST provides a free website checker,
BOBBY, which identifies severe problems.

Moral: if you want to be safe, use the web interface to post.  Your e-mails
will be legible to all members of the list, the lack of word wrap which is
a problem for many of us who read the list in the web archives should be
solved, and you don't run the risk of passing on viruses.

Besides the fact that it standardizes format and makes it easier to use the
web interface to write, I would also suggest using the web interface to
read and setting your delivery options to index if this is possible fo you
because you don't have to read every single message and they don't all land
in your inbox!
