There are many times in which HTML doesn't translate correctly to a recipient. The lowest common denominator, then, is plain text. That being the case I habitually set my email reader to send in plain text.
Also, for one who uses gpg (or it's equivalent), even occasionally, the encrypting and/or signing program automatically converts to plain text. It isn't arrogance. It's the need to meet the needs of the greatest number of people.
