The correct solution (Thomas did already mention it at Akademy) would be 
to send messages always as plain text unless the user did actually make 
use of some formatting.

Hint: Disable HTML rendering in Mailody. ;-)

More seriously: I never see HTML rendered messages because I read all 
mail in plain text mode. And if I want to see a message in HTML mode 
then I can easily do so by clicking on the corresponding link shown in 
the preview pane.

Yes, in HTML mode it looks awful. But I would have never noticed 
this. :-)
