Well, that's OK for me then.
e-mail is now more media rich than it was in 1998 (when plain text ruled). People who still want plain-text should also, I guess, plan to go back to Performas or maybe an 8150 server.

That's BS!

There are at least three reasons plain text still rules:
1) I (the receiver of your message) gets to decide how it should look
2) plain text can be shown on many mobile devices, so I can read emails "on the go"
3) I can easily apply various searching, filtering, and/or indexing tools on plain text


And then there is the bandwidth saved...

I really fail to see why I should downgrade my machine just because I recognize the power of plain text -- not only that, but HTML emails is a *disadvantage* for me mainly because of #1 and #2.
