There is no objective reason to prohibit or even discourage mark-up in email and on Usenet.
Is it not true that, at least on a Windows box, an html message is a favorite vehicle for script kiddies to send viruses?
Yes. Therefore if we are in the habit of lecturing windows users not

Should the windows user ask why text its a chance to teach them.
