Do you see then the ^^^^ exactly under the 'okay'? ;)

No, its offset slightly when I read the message, in my reply it looks
fine.
Doesn't answer the question tho. If HTML is 'okay' in RSS, why not
email or news?
Dan, I choose to view my NG's in Plain Text. If you want to view them in
HTML, that's fine, but I don't want the increased overheads of HTML as I
pay by the byte for my downloads.
I don't want to be forced to have the increased overheads. If RSS is
ONLY available in HTML mode, I guess that is a reason why I will not use
it!
Your view may vary!!

Well, in short you are paying for it anyway! When you download a
message it is downloaded in whatever form it is, HMTL or plain text. It
is only your display that selects what you see, after it is downloaded.
So, if a message is sent in HTML, you are paying for it, regardless if
you see the HTML or not.
For example: If I sent this message in HTML, you would see it listed
just like any other, if you choose to open it (to read it) the message
is downloaded, HTML and all. Since you have your view set to plain text,
only that component is displayed, the rest is suppressed. But it isn't
saving you any download bytes at all.
Even if I sent it in both (something I never do or encourage) HTML and
plain text, when you download it, all the components are downloaded. If
you choose (or have chosen via preferences) to view only plain text,
then thats what you see, but the HTML components are still there, on
your computer.
With emails, the same applies. When you download it, you get the entire
messages as it was sent, HTML and all.
So, sorry to say, your penchant for reading only plain text is not, in
reality, saving you any download bytes.
