I was going to mention, if you were using Mutt - I've installed elinks
and using the 'auto-view' setting, it displays html emais perfectly.

The only big practical issue with HTML emails that I'm aware of is that
it fsck's code patches sent inline.

Everything else appears to be fasist rhetoric :o)

And don't get me started on limiting line lengths to 72 chars...
