I prefer to receive “pretty” emails. So there, you know one person now.

I can’t stand text email. Anything other than short mails is unreadable without the formatting that html gives you. And emails that I subscribe to from magazines, stores etc, wouldn’t get read (by me) if they were plain text. HTML mail is the only acceptable form in this day and age.
Also, I’m a user of Outlook 2007 (at work anyway), and I get a lot of html emails that render completely correctly. If 2007 & 2010 have the same rendering engine, I’m wondering whether this campaign is necessary at all. 2007 works okay, doesn’t it? People manage to send html emails that display correctly, don’t they?

Every product/update has its own pros and cons, thats why we have versions being created. I’m, now, not sure how far this information is going to be true.

Microsoft made the right call by switching over to the word rendering engine, this is just someone looking to get some publicity by pulling off a stunt like this.

There are many new features that have been added to outlook based on this new engine..

Most PDF attachments are viruses, so no sane person would open one unless they checked with the sender first.

Marketing emails work fine because people like me design them to use only the retarded, last-century HTML that Outlook understands. The cost of this work increases overheads and makes everything you buy a tiny bit more expensive.

If I sign up to a newsletter and it came as a PDF I would think they were living in the Stone Age.

Also, a lot of businesses block emails with attachments completely.

Yes, because all email newsletters ARE spam.

People definitely are never interested in receiving information they are actually interested in.

What is html in emails used for?
- Newsletters
- Spam mails
In both cases I don’t mind not seeing the colors and designs.
