There's always hope for good multipart/alternative handling (good tag
stripping and a preference to show plain by default)

As long as plain text works (always works) properly, it doesn't
matter what
the default is for the _real_ power users. They will quickly look
for the pref
and set it.
But quite probably a lot of people will be using this app that are
not so much
not he POWER side of power user and much more on the USER side.
THey will not
look for the presence, and they will be confused.
The default *has* to be styled/html or we will see people
complaining about
how Letters can only send 'ugly plain text' and getting a bad rap
from users.
It maybe painful, but the fact is that Jared is right, the HTML
email fight
was lost ages ago.
Indeed. So rather than trying to make it hard to get to, instead,
meet the
challenge head on, and give people a solid *subset* of HTML so they
can have
better formatting and control. If you give them 90% of what they
will use
right there, no arguing, the other 10% they don't have is forgivable.
