Well, that all depends! What follows is better than what is above.=20
  Here's my list of arguments:=20
    a.. You're only sending an email here. Markups are completely =
redundant. All this HTML only waste space and bandwidth.
    b.. HTML mail with hardcoded fontnames look horrible in my Linux =
emailclient.=20
    c.. HTML mail can contain script viruses.=20
    d.. HTML mail mess up the archives. When you try to see a message in =
the archive, you see all the HTML code instead of the email!

Let's look at your arguments one-by-one:
  1.. Yes, I am sending an email, the purpose of which is to transmit =
information. Understanding is enhanced with good formatting which is =
allowed with automated html email programs such as Outlook or Outlook =
Express. The multiple ">" which appear in non html forwarded emails can =
not only inhibit comprehension, but also the inability of such an email =
does not have any word wrap which combined with the ">" can make the =
whole message damn near unintelligible.=20
  2.. This is the real problem, your environment or at least your email =
program.
  3.. It is certainly true that I or anyone else can build an html file =
which will do nasty things, but the programs that generate html enabled =
emails (Outlook, Outlook Express) will not activate a virus without the =
active involvement of the person who receives the email.=20
  4.. Again it is your environment that is the problem.=20
