The problem is in the meantime the idiots clog up your inbox with their crap. For some folks with tiny inbox limits this becomes a serious problem. There are also folks who have limited bandwidth. Some even have pay-by-the-byte bandwidth. HTML email is something sent by selfish/ignorant pricks. At the very least, get overt permission to send somene this crap.
