They feel they have more freedom to dress up their emails, plus they can get online magazines and supplier emails in HTML that show pictures. My company has marketing materials that we send out in HTML, and no it isn't spam. These materials are sent out after potential customers have requested them. If I were to block off Exchange so that only text can get through, our customers wouldn't get the full impact of our marketing materials. So sometimes HTML is a good thing. Besides, people like pictures. Hey, they are even pushing the cameras in your cell phone. HTML emails can have more impact with the use of colors, formats, fonts, etc. You can even use background styles. Here it may not be prudent, but why force it on everyone. Disks are cheap these days anyway. I have more concern over people sending MPGs. Just figured I would give my 2 cents in defense of HTML email. Oh, and one other thing, I have learned that it is not prudent to tell the CEO he can't have something.
