Offtopic, but anyway: luckily, there's "Mime: multipart/alternatives": this mechanism, supported by most mailers, allow an email to contain both an HTML and a plaintext (and in theory, for example, a PDF for printing) version of the email. The receiver's mail client can choose which alternative to show. I'm certainly not against HTML email, but I do think people should be encouraged to configure their mailers to also send the plaintext alternative (for example: I usually use thunderbird, in which I view HTML email in full glory, but sometimes I like to use mutt, which is when the plaintext alternatives come in handy).
