I don't read HTML emails.  If there is a plain text version, I read that,
and otherwise I don't read it at all.

People that send HTML only generally haven't said anything I would care
to read anyhow.  At least that's my assumption.  I haven't seen any
evidence to the contrary obviously. :)

And generally useful responses are interleaved with the quoted message,
since trying to make sense of an interesting discussion otherwise
becomes imposible.  Maybe people that only have trivial conversations
can get away with top posting.
