I don't mind messages which contain both formats and let the mail client 
render the content according to the preferences of the recipient; i.e. a 
message with:

Content-Type: multipart/alternative;

which contains:

Content-Type: text/plain;
and 
Content-Type: text/html;

However, I have found some mail clients, especially Microsoft web based 
mailers, send a Base64 blob which *only* contains HTML.  I don't like 
receiving these and depending on the sender I delete them.

Top-posting when the message is a threaded conversation does not help.  Some 
mobile apps and webmail interfaces make it really difficult to respond inline, 
so I don't mind being flexible on this matter.

PS.  I like this list just as it is.  Plain text and no-top posting - thank 
you.  :-)
