Uh, maybe so, but I suspect that for a while you might feel like one of the
poor saps who had to convince fanatic Japanese soldiers on deserted islands
- still in the trees, with their rifles - that the war was over.
I, for one, use HTML formatting as an indicator that it's junk. Off it goes,
into the bitbucket. I suspect that people who use alternative devices, like
the very popular Blackberry handhelds, don't like HTML mail. I wouldn't be
surprised if, just like with this list, sysadmins of company mail servers
don't simply disable HTML mail at the door. As a general rule, I'd be less
inclined to purchase a product from a company which didn't allow me to
receive plain-text email. I suspect that this is a common feeling, and that
while you may get better visible results using HTML email, you probably
can't measure the less visible results of people saying "screw so-and-so and
their products".
