It's a losing battle, but you might try some combination
of:
1. Find sites which explain that the disclaimers aren't
legally binding, anyway. Explain that the company may get
bad publicity if its disclaimer ends up on (e.g.)
<http://www.goldmark.org/jeff/stupid-disclaimers/list.html>.
2. Show them a screen print of their HTML disclaimer from a
non-HTML email client. Suggest that any legally binding
effect of the disclaimer may be nullified if it is thus
hidden within "unreadable" HTML text.
3 Search for various sites which explain why HTML email is
bad, in general. Show them to your boss. (E.g.
<http://www.expita.com/nomime.html>.)
4. Research past work-related questions you've asked on
Listservs (this and others), and the amount of time it took
to get back good answers. Explain that this source of
answers is not available if you're required to post in
HTML.
