Yes, but it's also totally outside the purview of the ASRG, unless you
think it is in some way an important enabler of spam.
I wholeheartedly agree that unnecessary use of HTML in e-mail is
stupid. I completely concur that HTML e-mail is generally a waste of
bandwidth. However, as far as I can see these arguments over how
technically awful HTML e-mail is are irrelevant to this list, because
it's not going away and even if it did spam would just go back to being
plain text.
(In fact, all the spam that's made it through my filters this week has
been plain text.)
