If you want to make a convincing argument with numbers, clear out your
database, make plain text the default INSTEAD of having HTML the default,
load 'em up and send us that results table. I bet your majority would
swing solidly the other way. Most users accept the default rather than
risk actively making "a choice," and would probably accept Esperanto
rendered into GIF images by default if that's what you gave them.
Another interesting statistic would be how many messages, out of the total
HTML messages received, actually USE any of the features of HTML mail.
Most of my users basically appear to use it like any other text editor, for
simple messages LIKE THESE THAT WE ARE EXCHANGING by the way, so that the
HTML functionality is completely superfluous.
