I don't claim that nobody cares about HTML. A lot of people display
HTML
formatted mails, but you can't rely on it and you should be aware
that
they don't look the same on all computers.

Yes it is. You are presuming that the global majority are using
unformatted text. There may be a few FreeBSD and Linux users not using
a
GUI, but how can you think they are setting the trend and that this is
where 21st century messaging is at? 2019 is all about dynamic content,
not plain text.

A few ๐Ÿ˜ƒ?

If you communicate with the majority using HTML, than you better use
another MUA, since if you use Evolution, the averaged Windows recipient
usually sees cut inline pictures and/or different font sizes, let alone
that you should care about to install every crappy Windows font, to see
all those special chars that are even not part of UTF8 [1].

Why not doing everybody and yourself a favour by following a few sane
hints, such as [2].

Whatever the case, it is commendable that Greg want's to assure that
his
messages are going to be effortlessly formatted when using Evolution.
It
is quite something for you to tell him that he shouldn't expect his
recipients to "care about the HTML formatting at all."

Emails aren't the same as ink on paper. What you see, e.g. blue font on
a white background is sent via markup language and not necessarily does
look as you expect on the receivers machine. While the colouring between
Evolution and other e.g. Windows MUAs is compatible, I'm not aware of
colour mismatches, there are other things to consider. Recipients might
want to use individual font sizes and colour themes that makes reading
emails for them more pleasant.

HTML gains nothing, but could be the cause for a lot of issues.
