this gibberish...

  >Spamming is pervasive mainly due to the inattention or failure to enforc=

  >acceptable use policies by the service provider.  =0D
   =0D

...is unreadable, and so is...

  <DIV>>Spamming is pervasive mainly due to the inattention or failure t=
  o enforce</DIV>
  <DIV>>acceptable use policies by the service provider.  </DI=
  V></DIV>
  <DIV> </DIV>

...this.  if you're on this mailing list, please configure your user
interface to output 79-column ascii card images, with no =foo or html.

if or when nanog@ moves to a different format, it'll likely be jabber
rather than html or richtext.
