What's all this about HTML on the list?

HTML is a great tool for its purpose. I love it.
The son of Nina Foch invented it. A beautiful actress.
PostScript is good too.

However

ASCII Text is kind.
It endures all things.
It doesn't vaunt itself.
It's not puffed up.
It doesn't behave itself unseemly.
It never fails.

Do we need anything else for our purposes of communication?

And should we ever include an HTML attachment unless necessary?
