Then using HTML is a bad idea.

HTML formats differently in every email client. Editing it is a pain. It
adds unbelievable amounts of bloat to very simple text. Processing it in
a client introduces hundreds of potential security bugs. Because of the
security issues, many clients require the reader to click through
warnings and trust settings before displaying the lovely (not) company
logos.

And when HTML email sets its own font settings it overrides my defaults
and makes the email unreasonably tiny. And if I set the minimum font
size bigger, silly things like HTML "business cards" overflow all over,
making HTML emails look even worse than normal.
