The people you are interacting are not sending HTML email on purpose, but simply by accident because of details. I would hazard to guess that if the default was changed that they would not noticed.
Given all the communications that you receive, how often have typographic 'flourishes' been added in a useful way that would need mark up more advanced that ASCII/Unicode?
Given the following (from the article):
* HTML as a vector for phishing
* Privacy invasion and tracking
* Mail client vulnerabilities
* HTML emails are less accessible
What exactly does adding mark up give you on a day-to-day basis over a text/plain Content-Type?
