And multi-part mail, with a plaintext equivalent isn't sufficient for those users?

Unfortunately I'm up against a Marketing department who want to send the sort of message that I hate getting - one that downloads extra content from another site. My official reasons for opposing this, apart from my personal dislike of it, are: 1. Security: You can execute malicious code with HTML mail whereas plain text is simple 2. Presentation: It's better to link to a page so the user can click on the link and open their own browser. 3. Compatibility: People who receive these messages but not in the correct way will phone the people who sent them, who will phone me. This seems a little wooly to me, so I'd appreciate some good coherent arguments for text-only e-mail.
