Sending or receiving HTML Email does not mean, and should not imply getting spam, virulli, and all manner of problems.
In clear fact, one could say that the vast a\majority of Emails may well be HTML or at least sent to those capable of seeing both HTML and Text messages -- and the world clearly has not collapsed.
Although that's not to say as a blanket statement that no ill comes from either Text or HTML Email's, they in general work fine, and the various routes they take can be scanned for any offensive nasty codes for the most part...be it at your end before they are sent, at the various web-servers / email servers or on your end of the line when they are received by you.
There may well be times that HTML Email may be the best way to impart information that Text Email simply can not accomplish, or you may find Text Email well suited to ones lifestyle. But totally condemning HTML Email may mean that you or others may be missing out on new agenda or needs, then again, maybe not.

I always use a Plain text Signature file even in html File. I am one of
these people that can actually read email formatted with HTML as opposed
to Plain text. But since so many people profess to hate html mail I use
plain text except for those people I know don't mind it.
and
You cannot insert pictures into plain-text messages. Plain text is plain
text. You can do ASCII art, but I realize that is not what you're asking
about.
If you want to send HTML, you should make sure your recipient is OK
with it. Those that understand the danger in HTML e-mail simply won't
even look at it. Of course there are a lot of people out there that
just don't know any better. They're the ones always complaining about
getting viruses, etc. :-\
