That article has a lot of good points in it.  My main problem with HTML E-mail is that 
lots of mail clients default to sending HTML, although the end user doesn't even know 
that it is being sent with HTML, and often has *no* HTML code in it (besides the junk 
overhead, such as a break on the end of each line, that isn't needed for text).  So a 
bunch of CPU time (for virus scanning, which has to be done on HTML, but not text) and 
bandwith (typically at least 2-3 times as much) is just wasted... which increases the 
costs for everyone involved.

HTML E-mail definitely has good uses, but for personal one-on-one E-mails where 
neither then recipient nor sender even know or care HTML was used, it's a waste.
