Funny how people feel "savvy" by using modern technology!
Plaintext obviously doesn't meet the requirements of most marketing
campaigns.  When you're autonomously defining such "standards", it is
hard for the rest of the world to take a cue from YOU  = 0
In fact, almost all (gui) email clients *will* receive and display HTML
emails -- some even do nifty things like cleaning up the HTML, removing
script code segments, etc... so it seems to me that HTML email is indeed
a standard.  I think I understand your point though, but it is a big
world out there, and if you want to, uh, say, get a job, there is a
certain amount of conforming to *others'* standards that you might
encounter, dare I say... 

nice cool evening cheers to y'all,

   Ben
