Re: format=flowed : why not use HTML?

I have trouble understanding "not fully text/plain compatible"

It looks like hell when treated as text/plain.

or to put it another way, the signal-to-noise ratio is really low
when treated as text/plain

or maybe even "it doesn't look like I think it should."

most quoted-printable text is not unreadable, or even that difficult
to read.  but it annoys people anyway.

Absolutely, and it is nothing compared to typical HTML, where the content
may be completely obscured.
