I don't quite go so far as to instantly delete HTML messages, because there
are some people who write me who regularly use it. However, I do have a rule
that flags complex HTML with a category colored a garish pink, so that I can
spot it easily, and 90% of that material IS junk that I delete immediately,
once I read the subject.

In general, I don't like receiving HTML. I have a script that turns HTML
messages into plain text, and in many cases, with certain people or groups
who send me HTML mail, I have a rule set to run that script and turn it to
plain text. I'd prefer that people use plain text except where HTML is
essential, as with mailing AppleScript so the lines won't break.

Some mailing lists are set to reject mail sent in HTML format. I wish they
ALL were set that way! As George said, HTML mail sent to a list really
clobbers up a digest.
