You might remind them that such formatting increases the likelyhood that
spamassin and other similar tools will mark the emails they send as spam
and rigthly so.  99% of such emails I receive are from spammers.  Just a
thought.


I don't even bother reading html only emails.  They go straight to my trash can.

The new version (still unreleased) creates BOTH HTML and plain text parts.

Millions of users use Incredi-Mail. Millions of users use AOL mail, which is html by default. Your client's customers have been asking him for html mail. I use html mail. My customers use html mail. Spamassassin and other similar tools are not going to disenfranchise millions of people, or those who use it will lose their customers.

HTML mail is not evil. In fact, it can be a quite handy tool, in the right hands. It can help clarify important message parts, identify urgencies, make communications more clear. Communication is in fact the goal of email.

The internet is html driven. Squirrelmail, thru PHP is an html application. HTML is not evil. It's popular amongst the geek crowd to be against html mail. It's a badge, or sorts, proving technical prowess and superiority. It doesn't matter, it exists, people use it. Some mis-use it. That's ok. Many mis-use the English language altogether. We don't get rid of language because mis-use is wide spread, and we don't get rid of word processing tools simply because mis-use is common.

HTML mail is here to stay. And rightfully so.
