No.  I myself do not use GUI clients.  Clients that understand MIME
can select the text version (if, of course, you include both a text
and HTML version of the email).  This includes pine, mutt, Mew (what I
use)... last time I used it, elm did not support MIME.  But it was a
lame, unsupported mail client that has been dead for years, so I
wouldn't feel that bad about making things look more ugly for them
(though you could still read the email as long as the text version
came first, so it would still be functional if not pretty for such a
user).
