No, it's that every MUA in the world has handled html mail for a decade
and it's a waste of time to piss into the wind.

I send most of my mail as unformatted text, but my MUA (alpine)
renders incoming HTML just fine.  Time to get over it and waste time
arguing about something else pointless, like when to capitalize internet.

R's,
