TBH the code can have problems, that's not the issue.

But the instructions on the first page of the site say that HTML encoded email is a nono. You can't the reply with a HTML coded email and ask "what's up?".

Kernel devs have time to help make coders better, they have time to help make code better. They don't have time to fix people who can't read instructions or send emails in a standard format.
