I'm now using my mobile phone more and more to access my IMAP server and I 
pay per byte downloaded.  It's not just only a pain in the arse, it's 
bloody expensive and I'm one of those in the community who hold HTML mail 
in complete contempt.  If someone needs me to see HTML, they can send me a 
link to the web page.

Just as bad are those who don't trim quoted text and send 50KB of text that 
adds "me too" at the end.  Grrrr.
