So you're agreeing that plain text doesn't prevent tracking ? And that advocating for it won't solve the problem ?

No, the issue is that you can't tell everyone to "just upload the picture somewhere and put the link in the middle", that's unreasonable. That is the issue. HTML solves an issue.
> Don't assume that someone using HTML actually do it conciously or is glad to receive it in that form because average user doesn't complain about it
Average users want formatting. Plain text doesn't provide it. HTML for emails sucks, but plain text isn't a solution to that.
