Reasonable, or no, it would involve changes in the way vger
handles the mailing lists and that is very unlikely to happen.
These lists have a long tradition of being plain text and there
is also a long tradition of not changing how things work just
because somebody comes along with a broken client. IMNSHO changing
the list to fix a broken client will only serve to encourage
more broken clients. And that would not be a Good Thing.
