OK, Steve, I use pine, a text based program running on a UNIX system. When someone posts in HTML I have to go through a succession of screens selecting what amounts to viewing the text part of the message as a file attachment. Even then it will often have long lines which run off the screen without wrapping to the next line.
I know that there are other people who prefer not to have email in HTML but I can't speak for them.
