If someone needs to send a formatted text, then they can use a text

HTML and expect me to read it on my phone, then they have wasted their
effort, because the message is too heavy to download, heavy to display,
and because I ultimately read e-mails in plain text. And most of the
times it is spam.
And yet, ironically, this message you sent is in HTML.
It does have a plain text part, but it's base64 encoded. Not a problem
for any half-decent MUA, but for those read hardcore users that read
their mail directly from ~/maildir (or something like that), it's an
extra decoding step ;-)
