90% of users are non-technical users who use standard email readers, 
that can easily read html messages.

In my experience the kind of user that receives emails with html and 
pictures often prefer it that way.

So why bother with the lecture? I cannot remember when I have last 
received a relevant email that I could not read in text mode.
