But it wasn't that the sender was using HTML mail that was confusing the
recipient.
It's that the recipient's mail client was displaying HTML mail when he
thought that he'd disabled it.
Aside from the recipient thinking that he'd disabled HTML mail, it really
isn't specific to HTML mail.
Had the user thought he was disabling the display of inline images (movies
or sounds) and saw inline images, he'd have been just as confused. So it's
really a confusing mail client configuration item, not an "HTML email is
confusing" kind of thing.
Which reminds me... When, oh when, will E'rage get around to displaying
things inline?!? Hopefully in EfX (my proposed codename for "Entourage for
MacOS X")...
