IMHO that rule should be seen as an ancient relict (so long as mails are

perfectly.

space.
* Even setting your email client (I use Mozilla Thunderbird) to prefer
plain text in a multi-part message, the HTML part shows up as an
attachment. A huge annoyance for me when I search for important message
that had valid (read "real") attachments.
* Not all HTML message are equal. Mozilla Thunderbird tends to generate
ok HTML, but other email clients like Outlook etc create the most
hideous and verbose HTML code ever seen!
* HTML is plain text obfuscation
* Multi-part HTML messages mess with the various mailing list archives.
Some try and strip the HTML part, others don't etc.
I can go on...
