Well some of us have enough email from various mailing lists to follow,
that a GUI email client simply doesn't work.

If you send HTML and can't be bothered to use multipart with a text
version too, then I simply won't read what you write.  Probably wasn't
important if it was only HTML anyhow. :)

Your plain text bottom post might not be read by everyone, but it probably
will be read by the people that will reply with something useful.
I doubt you would have gotten useful input from those that don't
understand scrolling to read an email.

I have a hard time imagining anyone seriously using a phone to compose
anything useful email wise, but I guess all those blackberry users would
disagree with me.
