There are huge survey bias problems in determining whether they want it or
not.  Are you sure you've taken that into account?

Most people will answer "yes" to "do you want pretty, more readable e-mail
messages with nice highlighting and good color schemes" and will answer
"no" to "do you want the e-mail messages we send you to cause your
computer to automatically do things out of your control in response to the
mail that could be potentially dangerous."  Which question did you ask? :)

And is the average user in possession of enough information and
understanding to correctly judge the tradeoffs, even for themselves?
