The annoying thing as I see it is that K9 mail lets you click links in
received emails, but doesn't allow you to add links in your signatures,
which I too would like. So as I see it K9 does support HTML, just not
when it comes to sending.

Same at my working place: you write a mail that requires us to employ
a full-fledged html parser as an additional attack surface for
security holes - and you instantly risk getting blocked.
Additionally html signatures with images make searching for "this one
mail that contains an attachment" hard as every mail contains this
image => if you were willing to write a full html editor for mails
including providing the possibility to place images relative to the
canvas/to the text, the logic that attaches them to any mail if needed
and to make them scale accordingly to the screen resolution and size
(possibly allowing to make the layout of the signature auto-adjust if
the screen is a 9:20 aspect ratio cellphone) I cannot guarantee
someone will include it in a mail client whose main advantages are
that this client is simple, is using only a small amount of resources
and fast.
If you instead want k9 to be able to load an html file and to attach
it to every sent mail k9 wouldn't need to be equipped with a big html
editor but as html comes in many flavours and since it can reference
external files that still would make k9 unnecessarily big.
As I am no k9 developer, but just an user who likes k9 to be simple
this opinion might greatly differ from the one of the real developers,
though.

Yes, that's a shame.
Of course, our firewall would block those emails unless explicitly
instructed not to...
One could tell such a company that serious organizations won't
receive their emails...
