I would argue a different point... html allows better formatting, and as such can give you emails that actually look quite nice, as well as allowing for coloured text and images. however i think the general approach made to html emails is wrong... html clients tend to allow scripting, whereas from a security point of view, it should be plain html... no javascript, nothing else but standard html.
but then, there is little reason not to send emails that are both if you want to use html, as most clients support sending of dual format... its not like the excess text really takes up that much space...
