As it should.
There is no reason to waste bandwidth in encoding a text message in HTML.
Simple ASCII text should be used for text messages,especially when 
sent through a reflector.
This allows clear communications with minimum bandwidth.
When you waste your bandwidth with HTML encoding,you cannot be sure 
what will be received on the other end.
It could be text with all of the formatting stripped out.
It could be text with all of the HTML encoding shown.
If you must send HTML reserve it for private communications.
There are a lot of people that pay by the byte of data.
HTML greatly blots the communication without any benefits.

HTML lends itself to hiding vicious code that is executed on the 
receiving computer.

Just my opinion.
