Ben - For the email newsletters that we send out, on average about 25% of the users are signed up for the text-only version. The vast majority of the users are in non-technical fields, and I'm sure that influences the numbers a bit -- i.e. certain tech gurus preferring or swearing by text-only emails :) whereas your average home user might enjoy the color, graphics etc. available w/ an HTML email. This isn't always the case though; some people w/ web-based email accounts (Hotmail, yahoo, etc) actually do sign up for the text version.
