Yes. Enabling HTML by default introduces a whole slough of security
issues. Many phishing attacks, XSS problems, and other scams
depend on having HTML e-mail. It is definitely better, from a security
standpoint, to enable only plain text by default. Users who are more
technically savvy and aware of the various threats can easily change the
default in the settings. Users who aren't technically proficient probably
should leave the default at plain text.
