Hello,
If you think there is no difference between "viewable by probable less
than 32%" and "viewable by more than 98%"[1] you are clearly right.
I doubt there are that many computers around which are used for reading
mail and which do not have some kind of webbrowser (e.g. w3m)
installed. OTOH gnumeric will be missing on every window machine (and
also a big number of debian machines, judging by popcon). On top of
that html is also viewable in webmail clients.
html is just the lowest common denominator for stuff ascii is
insufficient.
