I would like to know how HTML mail makes one's life easier :)  What's easier
than sitting down at a text editor and typing?  I personally like HTML, and
think that it would be nice if all mail readers supported even the basics of
it (like mutt could use a lightweight links browser to render the message)
so that making tables would be easier, but for 99 percent of the mail that
gets passed around, HTML isn't any easier and only makes it a pain for those
who use MUTT and other console email clients (I occasionally use mutt, am on
outlook now, and primarily use evolution (I use IMAP :)))

Anyway, enought rambling :)  I say that if you need to attach something that
has a more complicated layout, whip up a LaTeX/HTML/DocBook or whatever
document, attach it, and skip the HTML.
