On my previous work, I have faced situation when I *needed* to send mails in 
HTML format, and I haven't found easy way to do that with KMail.
My concern was just MS Word-generated HTML (which can be about 50KB just for 
*one A4 page*), and I definitly wanted to use some more ellegant solution.
Bandwidth and "concerns of our customers for security" were not real 
constrains (concerns) in our case, as those customers were sending 2MB-4Mb 
attachments, form time to time, anyway.  And many of those attahcments were 
.exe files ;-))

That's why I said that *default* to *mailing list* should always be 
text/plain.
But I would prefer to send mails to my wife in HTML (or XHTML, or SVG), as it 
makes mails more readable and better looking :-)
