MMMhhh, why not? 
If nowbody could send HTML/SCRIPT based mail we would not have to spend
hours/days to 

 * update virus infromation files
 * update virus software regulary
 * make sure that even the least knowledgeable user understands

and spend less money on this and could spend money on research ...
 

on top off this if we had a different mail protocol for formatting
of email (to make it pretty) we had no troubles at all........
