One does have to remain current with industry practice. And if the
industry uses HTML or Rich Text mail, well…

(and srsly, you can't get it to pipe HTML content through 'w3m --dump'?)

It is with the professional set. You can send and receive it on Outlook,
Blackberry, iPhone, OS X Mail (if you're a “creative”) or Android (if
you're an engineer). That's 999‰ of the business ecosystem.

Don't forget Postel's Law, as enshrined in RFC1122: “Be liberal in what
you accept, and conservative in what you send”.

cheers,
