I agree with you that Letters should have a basic subset of HTML capabilities when composing a message, and I could care less whether that or plain text is the default. In general, I use plain text for messages, but there are a number of times when I'll use HTML for it's capabilities. I even like Mail's setting to reply in the format the sender used.
