Plain text vs. HTML in e-mails

Ben has started a quite interesting discussion over on say-so.org about what e-mail format people prefer: Plain text or HTML.

And I was pretty shocked when noticing that more people preferred HTML. Don't get me wrong, I have nothing against HTML per se, but I simply can't stand it when it's about e-mails and just like ManInTheFatSuit there I even consider it rude when someone sends me an HTML mail.
