The people you are interacting are not sending HTML email on purpose, but simply by accident because of details. I would hazard to guess that if the default was changed that they would not noticed.

Given all the communications that you receive, how often have typographic 'flourishes' been added in a useful way that would need mark up more advanced that ASCII/Unicode?

Given the following (from the article):

* HTML as a vector for phishing

* Privacy invasion and tracking

* Mail client vulnerabilities

* HTML emails are less accessible

What exactly does adding mark up give you on a day-to-day basis over a text/plain Content-Type?
