Disagree. One good example is a message that includes visual material,
such as graphs or charts. A colleague recently took some MRTG graphs
that documented the symptoms of a particular network problem, captioned
them, overlaid some text as an annotation, and mailed them out in
advance of a teleconference. Much better than mailing out his comments
as text and trying to make reference to the MRTG graphs on a web page
somewhere.
