It is not as simple as that. I've built one newsletter application,
which creates the html-file, and saves it to server. The email sent
consisted of two parts.

1) link to the newsletter
2) email as html

If one couldn't see the html -version, they could easily click to the
site. Another choice would be to add all the contents as text-version
also. HTML -email, when used as newsletter, has many advantages.
Personally I prefer receiving txt-only, but I don not resent html.

One could also argue, that html is bad in web as well. Use text only -
the same information can be delivered. But websites, or email, is not
just about content.
