Incidentally, this is exactly the same issue as "attach a file to an e-mail"

for him to retrieve it, and then remember to clean it up afterwards".
Only if the e-mail client in question automatically executes the attached
file.
Indeed, I don't think any of the people who are complaining about the
"HTML in e-mail" issues would complain about someone sending an e-mail
with an HTML file as an attachment. At least, not as I understand their
arguments against it.
At any rate, it is certainly not "exactly the same issue" - people have
expounded upon the differences already.
