If the goal is COMMUNICATION, plain text wins. If the goal is "making it pretty", HTML wins. I receive a lot of HTML messages that look like ransom notes. "If I have 557 fonts, then I'm going to use every one of them in every message," the user seems to think, "and at least 7,000,000 of the 16.7 million available to me."
