The issue is NOT the provider. HTML is entirely dependent on the
mail reader. And not everyone uses an HTML-friendly mail reader.
Why? For starter, time and effort. Not everyone has a high-speed
internet connection.

Any mail reader (HTML or otherwise) can easily deal with plain text.
Plain text mail readers see all the HTML tags when the message
is HTML.
