As I say, other email apps I've used (notably Thunderbird) strip the markup in the reading pane for messages of content-type text/html . Yes the output may not be pretty, but it's there and readable, not wrapped up in an attachment. In the case of Outlook there is an information bar in the message header area/bar that gives the user the option to view the rendered HTML That might be a more friendly way of handling the message than wrapping it up as an attachment. I think Milan alluded to being able to view the message in-line, but I don't see that. Did he mean viewing the list of attachments? It's not an issue of offence as much as it is policy.

That you would like the display widget to be able to display HTML formatted emails as plain text? But you told it not to! You are telling the display widget to only display the plain text part, which is what it's doing. I suppose it would be a feature request though, because it certainly isn't a bug. Besides, I don't see much point in it. If someone has sent an HTML only email, then you may as well see it in it's full horrible HTML glory if the display is capable of rendering it. It may offend you, but at least you can see it as it's meant to be. Sending though is a different matter - only ever send plain text emails, ever.
