I would actually consider the image aspect an advantage rather than
disadvantage, but YMMV.  Most images in email seem to related to signatures, 
auto-appended organization, or spam-related (what little slips through
my filters).  If it's actually an image of interest, I can right-click
and select to view or extract it, the former of which uses the OS's
default image viewer (eog for CentOS, iirc).

It also avoids the issue of web-bugs put into html email.

Yes, the html rendering is primitive, but I don't usually notice as
I have mulberry configured to show the text part of multipart mail,
which works just fine in most cases.  A few html-only newsletters I
get are the only things that are so rendered, and they always have
links to online versions.

Agreed, along with the rest of the observations.
