Well I prefer plain text not because of bandwidth limitation but it has
other advantages:
Security: No stupid picture links trying to divert you to an attack site.
You see the links in plain text and can decide if they are legit. No hidden
tags etc...
Readability: Most web fonts just s*ck and if the sender decides to really
play with colors and stuff it get urgkkk very fast :) When I send and read
mail its usually because of the information and the blink blink just
distracts from it.
And its so convenient just to copy and past the unformatted text into your
favorite editor or word processor.

It is really quite a simple matter.
If a person sending an email message, intends to show respect for the
people expected to read the message, the message will be sent in plain
text format.
If the person sending an email message, intends to show contempt for the
people expected to read the email message, it will be sent in other than
plain text format (unless, it is explicitly requested to be sent in
other than plain text format, by all the people who are expected to read
it).
If a person gets a meal from a restaurant, the person does not expect
to find within the meal, contents from the restaurant cat's toilet box.
Similarly, for the most part, people reading an email message, do not
expect it to contain extraneous (figurative) faecal matter that is
usually designed to defeat email filters.
