... one part being the defensive things listed by Travis, but you
also shouldn't forget that some "outsiders" rate html-ized mails
as spammy, so at least the score increases or in the worst case
it's outright blocked unless white-listed.
If they don't want to change their mind just for you as collegue
to make you more efficient at work, those arguments should make
some responsible dudes think about it.
(min. 50% of my total spam is html-ized: when I explain this to
my partners, they understand and click their box. I haven't heard
any of them complain about having lost quality of life ;)
