Hum.. they offered me my emails in html and I went for it.  Plain
text is boring to me, I guess I am just a visual person.  But I like
their emails in html.  Text mail to me says here is something interesting
and here is a link go visit.  Where as the html is the page already
there, they saved me a step.  But it is my personal preference, that is
why I am glad they gave me the option so I could choose for myself.
