Actually, as one of those 12 guys I don't care about marketing messages. Probably nobody who is reasonable cares about the garbage from people who want to sell you more and more useless shit (because that's what most marketing messages are). These messages can be not only HTML but even in some completely unreadable format; makes no difference, they go straight to trash anyway. But transactional email, like order confirmations, password reminders, etc. are a different thing. I *do* care about them and they also very often come in HTML only or with a text part that contains no or unreadable information. Stupid webmail interfaces, that reformat the plain text part to an unreadable one-liner, as someone here already mentioned, are also a pain in the a**. I don't understand what's actually the point of people who suggest dropping the plain text part. Are their CPU cycles so precious that they don't even want to waste a little bit to convert their fancy-glancy HTML to something readable? The existence of plain text part doesn't harm anybody and doesn't waste a lot of resources (if we are talking about resources, the HTML part with all it's markup and graphics would be the one to drop in first place). So why waste time and energy on discussions about dropiing it? It's there and let it stay.
