IMO, HTML mail isn't the problem, HTML-only mail is.  I've got no
(major) qualms when a message is sent with multipart/alternative
containing a text/plain and text/html parts.  It's wasteful but oh
well.  At least with alternative parts a list owner or individual mail
recipient can apply their own preferences, rather than being forced to
pass through (for some) unreadable mail or drop kick the whole
message.
