Reminds me of someone I knew 15 years ago, who often said "Anyone sending me text messages with abbreviations doesn't deserve a response". Sadly, now this guy has hardly any friends.

Text messages with abbreviations come from real people. Emails with HTML and CSS are almost all automated, and usually some kind of spam.

(Some email clients for humans probably add a bit of html and css to everything, but you get what I mean. It still looks like plain text)
