In many cases, the quoting in the text/html part is easier to read (it's
clearer who wrote what) than in the text/plain part.

For example, Igor's message looks like this in HTML:

|  Dear developers,
| 
| Hello, Dominik ;)
| 
|  sorry for a slightly off-topic post, but I've noticed that a significant
|  number of posters is sending HTML e-mail to this list (not to mention

The first and last two lines of the snippet are quoted.

The corresponding text/plain version looks like this:

| > Dear developers,
| >
| 
| Hello, Dominik ;)
| 
| sorry for a slightly off-topic post, but I've noticed that a significant
| > number of posters is sending HTML e-mail to this list (not to mention

So the quoting has become corrupted.  In this case, it is not much of a
problem, but for inline replies it can be really confusing.

Thanks,
Florian
