Perhaps surprisingly, those of us who use html do so not because we are not clever enough to configure our mail clients otherwise, but because we actually prefer it. As you are annoyed with html mail, so too am I annoyed with plain text messages. I wish everyone used html mail, but I'm not going to try to force it on anyone.

Well, I'll send all my emails in EBCDIC instead of ASCII in future, because I
prefer it.  Sod the standards and all.  I'll also format my emails to 20
characters per row too, because it's more annoying that way.  I'll tell you
what, for total disregard of standards, I'll write my email in a word
processor, save as PDF and UUEncode it - that's making use of modern
technology.

Sorry for the rant, but I think it highlights a bogus point.
