Without being as pissy about it, I have to agree with both points. First, there needs to be some indication of subject matter in such a message, otherwise don't even bother. Second, if sending the message formatted as HTML (which I would hope is in itself configurable), there needs to be a text part. In my email client, I choose to view all messages as text and the link to the article is lost. That may be a limitation of the client in its text rendering of HTML, but there's very little reason not to send such a simple HTML message as multipart with text.
