There is a significant number of people who resent html in email. I
count myself as one of them and count myself as fortunate that my
email client (mutt) has the ability to strip away the text/html and
present it as text/plain.
I read the page you mentioned and I agree with all the points
presented there. Why not make a stand and _not_ use text/html?
