My experience is that 99% of the people who use html in their mails even don't know that they do so. They are just the victims of the default options of Outlook. Spammers use html deliberately, but I don't feel obliged to support them. The Bat! shouldn't become an Outlook clone, it is just the difference that makes it an attractive and safe alternative. No use for wasting resources for an option that is deliberately used only by a few percent of the population. Let them muddle with Outlook.
