Actually, he's right.  Do the research on email and the RFCs involved.
Plain text is readable by everyone without exception.  HTML is a /web/
standard, not an email standard, no matter what Microsoft wants us to
think/do.  
Heh, just try reading an HTML mail in plain text.  Many mail clients
only use plain text.  You, in sending HTML, are doing a grave disservice
to the reader with only a plain text MUA.

Plus, it is the standard here, /on this list/, to send plain text.  In
view of that, why aren't you doing so?
