I can't speak intelligently to html messages, but composing almost any
message in html instead of plain text DOES add a burden to the
size of that message.
HTML messages ARE going to be a bit bigger, sometimes a LOT bigger than the
same message composed in plain ascii text.

No. Each list has it's own rules regarding images. Most strip them out, and
require you send them to a epecial images folder instead.

Look at:
http://www.webopedia.com/TERM/H/HTML.html
See all the double carats "< >" and slash "/" marks?
They enclose commands that the html message must follow, that have to do with
font changes, font color changes, start and stop italics, etc.
Plain text doesn't have that capability, so it doesn't need all those "how to"
commands.
That's ONE reason most lists highly recommend you use plain text instead of
html. All in all, it takes up less room and the chances of errors creeping in
are much less.
Everybody will be happier if you use plain text. <g>
