I think it *is* correct. The ability is not at fault. If someone chooses to take
it over the edge, that's his prerogative, and his fault, not the system's. HTML
provides a capability - either use it or abuse it.

That said, I'm a fan of plain text email myself. Most tasks can be accomplished
easily with it and it definitely seems cleaner. Very rarely do I see the need
for HTMl mail. The only reason I'd want to do something like that would be to
change the font to, say, Verdana which has great on-screen legibility. Nothing
outlandish.
