I think Lee mentioned this a few emails back. Email agents regularly send multipart emails with both html and plaintext. This is highly frowned upon by email admins as it merely clogs up the net with useless information. If I thought the world would actually listen, I'd be with Lee on sending HTML only when there's a need for it, which nearly always means internal email on your LAN. In fact, HTML is the wrong word, 'formatted' would be better. As it is, a HTML email is a great way to recognise a spam mail and makes it easy for me to hit the delete key without having to think.
