I think it should not be underestimated how much effect how something looks has on the reader. I would suggest that it is for this reason that much SPAM is sent in HTML only - because those sending it conceive it with colour and graphics and can't imagine what it would look like otherwise.

Also you can validate that an email arrived with a simple HTML request for a cgi application. That way validating your read rate, if you want to sell the email address this must be an important value. I do belive since I have stoped supporting HTML email my spam rate has gone down hudgely
