I've been reading emails for years and the ">" character doesn't
interfere my eyes at all. I automatically ignore the first character.
And the ">" is no unexpected character: even if you have never read
plain text emails, you automatically understand that the ">" is a
quoting character after reading it a while, and your eyes will
automatically ignore it.
All ">" characters have the same font width, which makes it *very* easy
for the eyes to ignore.

Considering that the Dev-C++ developers also use Linux, and that it's
very easy to disable HTML in Outlook Express, I think it's perfectly
reasonable to not send HTML emails.
