There's always that.

I would tend to agree with that evaluation - but there might be bigger,
standards based reasons for the HTML support. Fact is, HTML will exist, and
you are bound to receive such mail - so some facility needs to exist in the
system to read it. If you can read it, obviously you need a means to
generate it as well.

This can be VERY easily remedied, of course, by simply setting the defaults
to NOT send mail as HTML/RTF format - most users never change the defaults,
so this would be an adequate solution.

Seriously, the addition of such features is NOT a bad thing, it's just a
matter of setting preferences appropriately by default.

Same here.
