Hi, I'm Raseel. I'm a new member. I don't see why html mails should not be allowed. I hardly thing there will be anyone who is SO new that he won't know hpow to handle the html mails.
But what about those of us who prefer clients which don't handle HTML email? The only HTML mail I get is spam. Quite a few of us find text based interfaces much more powerful than web based interfaces, and we don't want HTML, which bloats the size of the mail while conveying no additional relevant information. It also gives a chance for web bugs, tracking points, malicious scripts, etc to come through (I am aware that not all people on this list use Linux as their desktop OS).
