You're assuming the email is HTML. No, not all users use HTML email.
Sane email clients do not display HTML :)
I hope they enforce the use of plain text versions of html email :)
Hope people will stop send HTML-formatted emails.
HTML emails SUCKS. Use goddamn plaintext.
Email clients don't give a shit about your html. They will straight mess you up
Why can't emails just be text :(
HTML mails are an abomination, just tell people to use text/plain.
Most HTML is sent multipart with a text version too. You might consider setting your mail client to favor that version.
Email should be plain text. HTML in email itself was a terrible idea, though not as bad as AMP in email.
