I have my email set to text-only

Me too...

because I don't use Outlook or OE

Same here...

... however this doesn't mean I can judge this and simply overlook the reasons for sending those. How these facts affect the validity of the reasons for sending HTML e-mails? You should always get the message (see below).

Email is SMTP or POP3 - (X)HTML is web. The servers are different, the protocols are different - everything is different.

Well, maybe have a look at RFC and MIME, which is apparently more normative than some opinions on mailinglists.

Send a link to a web-based newsletter via email, or a text version of the newsletter

These two should be both included every time (the latter in every multi-part mail as a text alternative).
