HTML mail is a mess that's impossible to get right; better to avoid it. Misleading users with a rich-text editor that looks like a word processor is bad because it'll pretty much never look as intended in anything but the same HTML editor that created it originally.

My experience has been the opposite at least for things like font size, bold/italic. I’m curious to hear what problems you’ve encountered.
