I'll answer a question with a question: What happens when you send a multi-part email (with text, aol, and html versions) to someone who only has a text interpreter? Will they get the text version, or the gobble-de-goop from the source code? I know that Outlook and most of the current email browsers will handle it fine, so is this something we need to worry about?

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.
