It takes up much more band width for no more content.
Those of us who don't use HTML get two versions, one with plain text and
one with text interspersed with many 'non printing' characters, making
it almost undecipherable. I don't like receiving gobbledygook.
Plain text is remarkably economical of bandwidth and discspace on your
computer (this mail is about 1kb) HTML is bulkier and a Word document
starts at 19kb.
