Perhaps he was saying he won't spend the time looking for information
amongst html tags. Sure you can send html, it's just not nice for the
reader.

Date isn't the only factor, people turn off html rendering in current
MUA due to the security risk

Lots of network people also work in security and don't need the extra
risk

For mail I receive most spam and attempts to exploit the user/client
are html. Almost zero legit mail needed to have html

You have to tolerate receiving html as there's too many who don't
care. The sender has to tolerate their mail may not be read, may
be removed by spam filters or the recipient reducing their opinion
of the sender.
