I generally look at it from this perspective - Do we really
need HTML to convey something ? Are plain words not sufficient enough
to express ourselves ?

I don't like HTML emails because usual textual matter doesn't need
it. It simply bloats things and if the renderer your client is using
doesn't have some feature that the sender use
I agree with almost all of it, except for these 2.
1. No HTML emails

These are surely relics from the past. I dont see any reason why these need
to be valid anymore. If your answer to this is "my favorite ncurses client
cant read it" it doesnt count.
