Virtually no one I communicate with uses plain text and hasn't in decades. And 99.9% of commercial email is HTML. I just don't get the aversion to it.
1-styling that, like most web sites, disregards user settings, resulting in tiny fonts and other abuse of those whose settings and/or vision isn't the equal of the sender.
2-overhead that almost always is unnecessary to the communication of words. e.g a 1.3KB email I send to a yahoogroups.com mailing list being returned at 18.9KB, the vast majority of increase which is embedded styling and markup, overhead that remains for each message that is kept for reference instead of being discarded.
