Yes, TRUST for one. There were too many HTML-Mail-related security holes in 
the past. The second is, SPAM doesn't get too annoying without HTML view.
There are Spammers already using JavaScript in mails, this is a BAAAAD idea, 
as we see from the Microsoft Outlook Scripting Experiences (TM) called 
Melissa etc.

HTML Mails with the HTML Mail in the attachment and a copy in plain text as 
body should be okay, these should be opened in a browser window.
