Maybe you might understand why someone would actually get annoyed by an 
email four times bigger than it needs to be (because of the HTML tags) 
which contains, javascript, tries to download images, and displays in an 
ugly, unreadable plethora of font sizes and colours.
I say 'no thanks', I say 'kill them all'.

 that somebody would actually get annoyed by the format of an e-mail.

Sometimes when people use a client like Outlook, I'm unable to quote
their message in my response. I don't think changing the font color to a
pretty shade of blue or a non-standard Times New Roman font really adds
anything. It gets annoying when people start sending you mail in green,
red, blue, etc. colored text all with different fonts that may or may
not render correctly.

I immediately delete anything I open that has colors in it or tiny
text that I can't read or top posting.
