And anyway, what's the point of HTML mail in the case when there is no strict need for "formatted mail" (and rich text is available anyway for those cases!). Just because current technology makes it possible, it does not mean it's compulsory to use _all_ the time (if you have car, no need to drive a car to visit the neighbour all the time with the explanation "but we have cars in the 2012 dude, this is not stone age!"), especially if you consider the extra energy needed to pass larger data (just imagine that half of the world sends mails in plain text and HTML, I can imagine how much larger a HTML mail compared to plain text especially with shorter mails, now multiply this with millions ...). And yes, HTML (especially HTML only!) mails are often the sign of spams, I also put them into the spam folder by default.
