I'm not clear on the particulars of mail delivery protocols or what
lists.sr.ht is, but we indeed do not like HTML mail sent to this list.

I didn't think such mails would be outright rejected, but you should
make an effort to send plaintext emails to this list. (Especially if you
are sending patches, where it is an absolute requirement.)

If you think this is a pain in the butt, you're right! Which is why
almost no regular QEMU contributor uses it.
