HTML belongs in a web browser, not in a mail client. Yes, many mail
clients can render HTML, but the hundreds of different kinds of HTML-based
malware that are floating around necessitate the clearly defined separation
of the two.
Especially for those of us poor saps that pick up our mail on, depending on whereabouts, a P.C. using a standard client OR ClieMail OR telnetting in and reading them via pop commands OR on our cellphones. That's probably a very small contingent, but an important one to me personally.
The other option is just to flatly and outright block mail with the Content-Type
header of text/html, until people learn that email is not the web.
I vote for this. And block attachments too, please.

Didn't realize your pendantic mode had an off switch. <ducking>
