I disagree strongly - attaching HTML bloats the mail up to almost twice the
size. Heck, even just sending the HTML is bigger than plain text. There are
countries where you have to pay for local calls by time units when you dial
up to your ISP, so every minute (and thus every unnecessary byte) counts.
That's basically the same problem as with spam, isn't it?
