I'm getting better about this. I am only including an introductory flame
if I answer the question, else I ignore the message. 

But to reiterate the second point. I may be alone, or I may be part of a
larger group, but I rarely will read a message that is in HTML unless it
had an interesting subject line. And then if it is difficult to read
because of the HTML, it will quickly get ignored.
