I like pretty code, I like pretty emails. By their very definition HTML emails are not pretty. Pretty code and pretty emails get me into a good mood. A good mood makes it more likely I will show interest in your posting and not just delete it quickly being annoyed why people send me those emails that look like shit in my dear mutt. You posted to this ML, so most likely you wanted my interest. Hence, don't post in HTML. Jawoll!
