I cannot understand why anybody uses html (except their software point them at it) I decided 20 years ago when word processors were coming in with various formats that I would always use plain text unless there was a strong reason not to because:-
1) it took less storage 2) it travelled faster 3) any recipient can open it & read it in any reasonable software 4) it doesn't go out of date due to format change Nearly every email I receive gains nothing from being formatted HTML or word processor of some sort.
