HTML email has one great advantage over plain email: almost all of it
is spam, and that which isn't spam is sent by a clueless luser who
hasn't figured out how to change the settings of their brokenware.
That means it can be filtered out a the MTA stage, with a proper
return code. (I can supply the sendmail.mc code for this.)
