I encourage you to actively seek out a moderate/open-minded person from the 
"prefers plain-text email" camp.  Such people may not be motivated to attend a 
workshop on HTML email without an active invitation, but those are the people 
you need to get on board to get broader deployment of HTML email.

In the event that IETF-related standards work in the IMAP/SMTP/MIME area would 
assist the deployability/usability of HTML email, I am open to such proposals. 
It's quite possible that MHTML (RFC 2557) needs some additional work to deploy 
more successfully.
