Not really. HTML makes mails a lot longer, not all mail reader programs
support it and it doesn't add anything at all to a simple text message (except
overhead...).
Not to mention that a lot of the spam/junk mail uses HTML with lots of links
to external images etc. => long downloads and security risks. Result: some
mail readers that can display HTML are configured by default not to, and then
even a clean HTML message is a mess.
(for information: my reader can read HTML, I left the default not to use HTML
formatting, and then HTML messages are a pain)
