Its now time for you all to get out of the text only mode and move over to GUI.
I use Mozilla Mail that has all the GUI frills a stereotypical newbie would like to see *and* it displays HTML mails without any hitch. I still vote for plain text because where HTML is concerned, everyone has their own preference of colors, font sizes and font families (serif or sans-serif). It is genuinely painful to scroll through messages quickly and having to adjust with differing font sizes and styles. Also, my default background color is not white which adds to the problem when people specify background colors in their mails, which is almost always the case.
