Despite my comments re HTML I solidly agree with you, HTML in emails is mostly a damn nuisance. Unfortunately, everyone expects pretty formatting these days, and it seems HTML is the default. I see no immediate solution to the HTML problem. The fact is that producing a good HTML editor turns out to be extremely difficult, so invariably the implementations in email clients are generally only poor subsets of the spec, moreover, no two HTML editors produce anything like similar code/output for any given tag, etc.
