For the most part, if it's html email I ignore it because it's marketing crap. In fact, I've thought of making a filter to automatically delete HTML email, but I do occasionally receive html formatted confirmation email from online retailers.
However, all of this is just anecdotal. Marketing firms have metrics that seem to show that html email has a higher sell-through rate than text-only. Trying to go to them and say, "well I don't think it's a good idea because the people I talk to don't like it," isn't going to convince a marketing company of anything except that you are naive. It doesn't matter what people want, it's how much you can milk out of them.
