But we've already known for years and years that HTML markup in email is
an atrociously bad idea. It's a worst practice. Which is why I've
said for an equal number of years that HTML markup in email is used by
three groups of people: (1) ignorant newbies who don't know any better
(2) ineducable morons who refuse to learn (3) spammers. There are no
exceptions.
Unrelated to PGP, what bothers me is webmail that doesn't let you fully
disable HTML. I can't stop companies from sending me emails full of
HTML-downloaded content, but I should be able to stop it downloading.
