Wonderful idea. Be sure of a few things:
1) Don't convert the messages to quoted printable. That was done before
and with all the '=' in the bug tracking messages it was TERRIBLE.
2) A notice should be posted. Some people have their mailers configured
to send HTML as well as plain text (why is a big question to me).
3) Perhaps a 'bounce' if the message is in HTML (I'm kinda iffy on this
one).
4) Check to see that the digest version looks OK. Sometimes the
differences (minor or major) are really bad!

Now if we could get rid of ALL HTML mail that would be (Martha Stewart
voice here) "a good thing". Alas that isn't going to happen anytime
soon (*SIGH*)
