I am not so sure I totally agree. Why exactly do we need HTML based
e-mail...Is it really necessary? E-mail is a service for transmitting a

ITA we do not need the HTML email for our everyday use.
HTML based email is mainly used by the Email-Newsletter companies, (i.e.
Whitehat,
Exactis, etc...) especially for advertising purposes.

Well, there's basic formatting:
