It does in kmail. So neh-neh-ne-ne-nehh, my mail client is better than yours.
etc.
My Mozilla did too. LOL
The thing about unreadable more likely refers to those who use
command-line mail clients like mutt or pine, because they like them, or
because they run a box without X (and just because you don't have X
doesn't mean that you shouldn't be able to read and respond to your
mail-- this is Linux, after all).
Actually most console based mail clients can read html mail without needing X.
Not to demean any of the other (excellent) arguments against html mail, but
sometimes people do insist on sending it :( So in mutt, you would include
the directive:
auto_view text/html
And have an entry like this in your /etc/mailcap or ~/.mailcap -
text/html; /usr/bin/lynx -force_html '%s'; needsterminal; description=HTML
Text; nametemplate=%s.html
You can see all sorts of obnoxious mail attachments this way, such as msword
via catdoc, and so forth.

I see where she is coming from though. She is one smart cookie, ;)
Wonder if she can tell me how I can tell Mozilla I want to "watch" a
specific thread? I can tell it to unwatch one but not to watch one.
Strange huh?
