Some banks have found something "better". Their emails contain a link
which automatically opens a page on their site in your browser (they
assume that everyone reads email in a browser, of course). They claim
this is more secure.
Citi does this with emails inquiring about a possibly fraudulent
transaction. If you kill the process as soon as you realize that
something in that email is trying to connect to something (as any sane
person would) they consider that you have authorized the transaction.
There is no point in complaining. 99% of users object to anything *but*
html mail. Most don't know that anything else exists.
