I'd certainly support this if it could be supported in a way that
doesn't take away my ability to read you message in the font size and
type I want to, and with the background colour I want to. I'm all for
emboldening, underlining and italicizing, using different font sizes
within the text etc. However, not at the expense of the loss of
control of what font size and face I read with. HTML simply doesn't
offer this across the board.

If I didn't have so much problems with reading HTML mail then I'd
certainly leave it be. I have left the newsreader integration since I
can leave it be if I'm not interested in it. However, I cannot prevent
senders sending me HTML mail all the time.

I think you're right on this and it's sad that this is so. I really
wish some other format to do what you wish had been popularized.
However, HTML was popularized out of convenience rather than it really
being appropriate. It's really a pity. So if an inappropriate
alternative format has prevailed to date, we should support its use,
right? :) I don't think so. It's not too late to change.
