I think you are confusing disinterest with opposition. I am absolutely 
not interested in implementing full support for replying to HTML 
messages myself, but I am completely okay with somebody else 
implementing it.

*IMO* HTML (in email) /is/ evil. Nevertheless, I couldn't care less if 
other people are using it as long as I can still read their messages in 
plain text. I utterly loathe HTML-only messages.
