One option is enough.  Actually thats how it is handled in the code anyay.  Its like "they don't care if they receive html", and if not set it means "they dont want to receive HTML", and it warns you if you try to send such a mail to such a person.  There's no use having another option for this.  The actual option imo is pretty archaic anyway, just to cater for the bsd/mailx using set, and others still stuck in the 80's (alhough many spam filters pick up html mail too).

*shrug*

There's the global option to tell it to alwyas use html, or always use text.  I think that's more than sufficient - its really the for the authors benefit anyway, not the receivers.
