The problem is not with the technology, but with lazy users.

If people can't expend the effort to edit a reply back to just
the essentials, and make sure they have HTML turned off, and perhaps
check their spelling, etc. then the end result will be that fewer
people will read, and respond, to DIY.

Flip side is that if the effort involved in deciphering or responding
is too great, people will not read nor respond anyway. Perhaps that's 
already happened?
