I wouldn't just say security bugs, but more along the lines of wasted bandwidth.
I've followed a full HTML thread before, and it got to the size of nearly
800kb... the plain text version was a mear 50kb... quite a nasty size difference
for not using any formating of any sorts.  But as somebody has already
suggested, take a peek back through the archives.  I don't want to be somebody
that starts this one off again, although I probably did with the comment to
start with (my bad).
