HTML Vs Plain Text E-Mail

Personally I hate HTML e-mails, they are unnecessary, bloated and are mainly used for spam. Yes you can change the font sizes and styles but is this necessary in business communications?

For business use I prefer the ease of plain text e-mail. There is no guarantee that your recipient's e-mail application supports HTML e-mail or that there system doesn't automatically delete HTML e-mails. Plain text is also easier to convert to speech for visually impaired users.

For support and other contacts, please send all e-mails in plain text. If you need to send a screen shot, please just add an attachment.
