I must admit I dislike HTML in e-mail because they normally consume
(at least) three times as much bandwidth as necessary to give the same
information. And since bandwidth is still a very scarce resource, one
should be a bit more careful how it is used. Since I have never seen an
e-mail where the HTML had any function at all, they shouldn't have wasted
that bandwidth. 

Best,
