I just added a section to the list FAQ, committed it into CVS, and will
be adding the text into the subscription message straight after sending
this mail.

Here's the new part, additions and corrections are welcome:

  3.4 HTML (or text/html) mail and file attachments

      Sending mail as text/html is discouraged. Please do not send
      text/html or text/enriched mail to the list. Sending large file
      attachments should also be avoided, as some people have to pay per
      minute (or per megabyte) when they download mail.
