Plain text works fine in ASCII world. But if you ever need to read bi-directional emails like I did(e.g. Arabic text with some English words) you will understand the necessity of using HTML in email. Without proper formatting and markup that HTML offers, English words seem to fly around the text and end up at semi-random places. I wish to see better support for non-ASCII plain text in email clients and web browsers, but until the HTML is all I have.
