Some people have really bad internet service in where they either have 
free internet, but are limited to 10 hours, or they pay per byte.

Also, some people have text-based email viewers and get a whole bunch of 
html code in there email when they go to view something that was html 
enriched

On my linux console, i have a free juno internet account (because im 
unemployed as of now, hopefully ill find a job soon) and ive probably 
used about 2 hrs of it in the past few days just doing emails and some 
internet. Sending it in HTML really bogs down my connection and it 
accumulates a lot of precious time on my internet account. Besides, i 
think one of the email rules for this list (and the other lists) is that 
you send it in pure text format.
