That assumes your client base are smart enough to click on something.

Experience shows me - and that's why I wrote that bit of code - that
some customers can't even open an attachment. Or click on the button
that says 'load images' or even click on a link.

Probably scared of catching AIDS or something.

I fully agree that huge images are bad news, but a nicely presented
shipping notification with a company logo in the corner, is not a huge
amount of downloading. Maybe 5-10k for a logo, and it just polishes the
job off.

About 90% of the less sophisticated people are in fact using a webmail
client anyay, so HTML rendering is petty 'de rigeur'

Of the rest, the vast majority will be on the default Microsoft mail,
with a smattering of Firefox and Mac mail clients.

The smarter people who have weird mail clients like Emacs, may be
expected to know how to do whatever they choose to get the thing to
render properly.
