Most 'people' don't tend to be sys admin who have to deal with
the bounces and other mail problems. Mail admin would normally be
unix admin who don't have the time to mess with graphical toy email
clients.
I can do everything I need with mutt or elm. Having to save out
MIME attachments for simple email messages to edit them is more than
a little frustrating; having to move to Netscape or Outlook to compensate
would be even more so.
Plain text has worked for a long time, still works and is likely to
work for a long time to come. Lets not move just because we can.
