I would hazard a guest that is should be text/html, if you are sending
html enhanced (cough, cough) email...

Hopefully you realize that doing this drastically reduces the number
of people who will actually get the email, as the spammers all use
html enhanced email, so the spam filters all penalize for it.

And, of course, some of us use mail clients that won't display html
email unless we click a couple extra times, since html enhanced email
is a blatant security hole waiting to be exploited.

So even if the email gets to my Inbox, the odds that I'll bother to
read it are much much worse.
