I used to think that too, but there are times when it's incredibly useful to be able 
to do so.

Example - I'm a sports journalist, and cover several different teams, etc. in my city. 
Being able to send an email off each Monday covering the coming week to my editors and 
associated entities, using a different colour for each team's event that I'm covering 
shows everybody - at a glance - what I'm covering on each day. (Well, what I'm 
PLANNING to cover...)

Yes, I could just fire off a Word doc, but having it right in the email is a LOT 
easier, especially for referring back to it later.

I use the HTML email very rarely, (although I'd probably use it a little more if the 
implementation wasn't so very basic), but it's a great thing when you need it. And 
I've got to say, with bandwidth increasing at the rate it is, HTML email isn't the 
scourge it once was. (All the usual caveats - used sensibly, etc)
