The only real standard for encoding of emails is plain-text.
Everything beyond that is vendor-specific/proprietary solutions.

Exactly.

And part of the problem is that "e-mail" programs such as Outlook Express make it their duty to pollute e-mail with HTML. Not to mention the "web mail" (Hotmail, Yahoo etc.) which by definition don't encourage plain text e-mails ;-)

If you use a Mac, good e-mail programs that respect "plain text" are (among others) Eudora and Mailsmith.

My point was that they are also able to read and display HTML just fine.
