Indeed not.  At least back in the days when I didn't know any better and
used Nutscrape, I'm sure it had options to send HTML-only mail.  Hotmailers
tend to do that too on occasion and at least some people would consider
that to be valid mail.

For myself though, I consider anything that is HTML only to be obviously
not important enough for me to read.  It goes into the spam folder.

I see little point in these super-whizzy anti-spam tools.  procmail does
the job just fine.  OK, so I have to very occasionally update my .procmailrc,
but that is rare indeed.  Very little spam gets through to me inbox.
