This might be true, but I think that ship has sailed. Email for 99% of internet users is html. Thinking that some large fraction of news letters, outlook emails will ever be plaintext is just naive. I use html emails in outlook simply because I don't want my emails within the corporation to appear differnet from anyone elses. I certainly don't want to return something that looks different from what the sender wrote,.
The mail client is a web browser. In many cases it's an actual web app in an actual web browser. The solution has to be to make them safer for the user. Maybe a subset of html can be whitelisted, maybe link targets should be rendered more clearly, maybe something else.
