Neither images nor non-plain-text means that the content is unreadable, not
useful, or problematic. Dealing with these on an email-by-email basis
through the community seems fine.
Mails to a mailing list should be text (or even ASCII) because not all
subscribers can read HTML or images and they're not needed to describe a
problem.
Images have the risk to have malicious content with the intention to use bugs
in the image viewers. HTML can "phone home" with one pixel href's to
check if you opened the HTML page.
As we seem to be compiling a list for people to review upfront (the major
points in this thread should make it to the website and be linked to by
community responders when encountering said problematic posts).
Always reply-to-all.
Why? Why I (and other subscribers) have to have the same mail twice in
the mbox?
You can prevent that by going here:

and checking:
Don't receive an extra copy of mails when listed in To or CC fields
Reply All is used so the folks involved in the conversation get the
emails in a timely manner even if the mail server is running slow
delivering to everyone else.
