Is it coming in as multi-part mime? with a text part and an html part? the
problem comes in when :
- they message isn't multi-part and is HTML only, and the reader doesn't do
HTML
- the reader chooses the HTML part of the multi-part message by default,
thereby exposing the reader to security hazards (like outlook...)

This is something I don't understand. I use mutt, and HTML mail appears
totally sane in my reader. It's also treated exactly like text when it comes
to quoting. :/
That said, I think it doesn't belong in e-mail sheerly on principle.
