I agree, but only because it annoys other people and takes ages to format
back to plain text format (I use Outlook 98).

Yes. Multipart messages have been supported by most mail programs since the
early 90s, so I would keep them in. I'm not sure if free mail servers can
handle them, but it does make life easier for the rest of us :-)
BTW, which is the most supported format - MIME or UUencode? I've always
thought UUencode was the best supported, but I'd like to hear confirmation
of this.
