It isn't prohibited to send HTML mails here. From 
<http://www.ubuntu.com/support/community/mailinglists>:

| HTML mail

While some members of this list complain(ed) about any HTML contents, I 
simply don't care if there is at least a text version included. If it is 
HTML only, I ignore those mails.
