:) Anyway the facts are these. Almost all mail programs support HTML.
This means that HTML is widely considered normal for email. The only
solution here is code converting html to text (and vice versa so as
noone feels a minority :) ). Since everyone is bored to implement such a
conversion filter 2 things will happen in the list.

a) Everyone will keep his religion and things will go on as they were
going so far. 
b) A religious war. :)  Which can lead to nowhere since nothing
significant can change.


I recommend solution A and C/C++ coding. :)
