I would vote to remove all the trapping. Especially if you take into
account that no one moderates that the list nowadays. I did this in the
past occasionally, but not anymore.

For html - if the community wants to be that strict, it is better to
reject them with a notification. Trapping makes little sense, no?

Then there are the multipart/alternative e-mails with both paint-text
and HTML versions of the text, one could let them go through, I guess.
