You don't have to endure it. Strip it out using procmail if you find it useless. I would use the more elegant PGP/MIME style of PGP signatures, but the support for that years-old-RFC is sadly lacking in too many mail clients and list software (mailman just fixed a bug in that area not more than a few months ago). So I use the uglier (to those without any PGP software installed) inline style.
Honestly, all the html email haters need to get over it, it's not 1991 any more, we have hard drive space, we have fast cpu's, and we dont have to keep every email we recieve (thank the spamers for that revelation!)
I'd still argue that HTML mail is almost always pointless. But that's just my opinion (and I realize some would say the same for PGP sigs).
In the end, I just dump HTML to text and go about my day. I don't spend much time moaning about HTML mail, I've solved it as well as I can on my end and the only time I mention it to others is to explain how to strip it out or to point out to those sending HTML that this lists' guidelines ask you not to send.
