I think that a lot of fault if of the email clients that has as default write HTML emails. Many people sending email don't know what is HTML or send HTML emails, they just write emails. So they don't bother to turn it off or on, if they can drag&drop fancy stuff from their toolbar probably they will. KMail warns you about writing HTML emails, it let you but warns you, and it has turn off HTML email as default. I don't know if M$ Outlook (express) has this feature off by default. Kai Ponte wrote:
Unfortunately, we're not living in the days of Pine anymore. HTML email is here to stay.
Keep in mind, most people don't give a rip about what format they're sending nor do they care about size or formatting or whatever.
Alienating the 99% of people who wish to send email - html or otherwise - is a bad choice.
As I said, I tried to reject HTML emails for awhile at work and got shot down. Even trying to enforce a bottom posting format was futile.
There are bigger fights to be had than whether or not email should be html or plain text.
