Why is that?  My observation is that about 99.9% of the HTML email I 
receive gains absolutely nothing from this other than to waste 
bandwidth and disk space.  Usually most of it is just sent by some 
moron using MS Outlook in its brain-dead default setting, and the 
message has absolutely squat in the way of special formatting but is 
still needlessly sent as a multipart MIME message with both plain text 
and HTML versions, where if your mail program gives you a choice you 
usually find out that the plain text version is more readable because 
the HTML one has some MS-Outlook-inserted dumbass tags that set a 
teensy-weensy font.  The rest of the HTML messages are mostly spam.
