While in general I agree with your sentiments about HTML "email",
I do make exceptions for HTML newsletters, untrained
family/friends, and the like. In my not-so-limited email
experience I would agree that rejecting *all* HTML seems
draconian. But if it works for you, so be it.

However, I can't agree with the sweeping statement that "HTML in
e-mail is spam". As the HTML newsletters I subscribe to are in
fact "solicited" and not commercial, they do not fit the standard
definition of spam as non-solicited commercial email. Nor are my
uninformed/untrained family/friends sending me unsolicited
commercial email when they send me HTML emails. However, if we
want to play word games, I guess we could refer to anything we
feel like as "spam".
