Surely customers just love logos and banners, especially when using, say, a
slow connection like GSM. They can't wait to see the fancy images and kewl
formatting, which helps them to ignore the (excuse for) content.

If you had a case where it would be reasonable to send HTML email, then you
should not include any "proper text-equivalent", since a user would get HTML
email if and only if he explicitly asked for it when, say, subscribing to a
newsletter.

Irony has become impossible, so I won't even ask whether you wrote
ironically or not. The emoticon ":-)" currently means just "I'm laughing at
my own joke, or at something, or someone".
