I work for H&R Block and for the past couple of years, we have 
been asking clients for their e-mail address.  This generates 
about 2 or three e-mails to the client per year.  This season, 
they showed us a sample of the e-mail that will be sent.  Guess 
what, its a web page.  When I objected to the sending of HTML, I 
was told to shut up, my views do not represent those of the 
majority.

Whats even worse, at least for me, is that Outlook Express is the 
mandated tool for my broker to use, he has no other choice.  
Whenever s/he needs to send me an attchment (.pdf usually), it is 
IMPOSSIBLE for PMMail/2 to decode the mail. Fortunately, the 
broker is only a few miles away, so I can drop in an pick up a 
copy on a floppy disk.  If the support team wants a sample, I'll 
be happy to provide, buyt I suspect they have LOTS of sources for 
this.
