Not a big surprise that Apple Mail, iOS Mail, and Thunderbird are the winners here. They're the clients most likely to allow HTML through verbatim in most cases.

Sadly, at least in my case, most people are using Gmail on the Web and they filter the HTML in numerous mystifying ways (although this is ultimately good for us as users IMHO).

Luckily there's still a lot that most mass e-mailers can do, including myself, to make e-mail pleasant for readers without niceties like custom fonts.. but one day it would be great to universally expect something a little more elaborate than HTML 3.2 ;-)

Yes, they could stop sending email full stop. There's a reason we wanted Domain Keys. Having the spamming fuckwits just moving from one starry-eyed mass email startup to the next every time they get canned wasn't it.

It's not "spam" if people double opt in, want to receive it, read it, and send nice testimonials about how much they enjoy receiving it. At least, no more "spam" than stuff you order on Amazon is "junk mail."
