HTML e-mail is always more than likely to be spam than a real message.  In 
fact, I typically have a filter set up to automatically send mails with html 
to the trash.  After I saw civileme's post, I had to go retrieve this one to 
reply to it.  You'll notice how hard it is to read your post.

And yes many still use text-only browsers, for many reasons, not the least of 
which is a security one.
