NO! If you post html to alt.html you will get soooooooo F-L-A-M-E-D!
That group is _about_ html, not _in_ html! (been there, seen that
happen, done some of the flaming myself...)

In those groups you'll get flamed if you post too much _text_ (happened
to me - one lady even claimed to have _killfiled_ me for it...). The
people there want _pictures_, not text. I suspect html and plain-text
are both equally off-topic in those groups...
