Says netiquette.

"# Send text-only content

Plain text is something that any mail program can read. Don't post Word 
documents, PDFs, HTML, or MIME (a number of stupidly-designed e-mail 
programs do this by default; here are the instructions for turning many 
of them off); your question will not be easily readable if you do, and 
that often spells "delete". Binary attachments sent to The Answer Gang 
are thrown into the trash basket without even a glance. Yes, we are aware 
that MIME Quoted-Printable can be useful in preserving non-English 
character sets, but mail to TAG in a language other than English is very 
rare. Use it when it's necessary; avoid it otherwise.

There are other sites, whose links I have lost atm, that back this up. 
Send e-mails as text only. Personally, I have a mail reader capable of 
HTML mail, but fscking hate the gobs of extra room an HTML message takes 
up compared to a plain text one.
