I abhor HTML email, but what can one do? It would be a good idea if
all the *newbies* to the Internet could be somehow trained before
getting *online* but alas, that would be a hope with too much room for
failure...

I personally won't read email if it's all HTML. But on the large
scale, there probably isn't much that can be done about it. IMO, the
best thing that one can do is educate his/her peers, users and those that
use the systems that one administers.
