Five times a month I have to wack someone over the head at work for sending out announcments of meetings as bloody Word attachments, or worse, PUBLISHER, instead of plain, vanilla email. I just had to do it again this morning, having spent half an hour trying to open a bloody file that took 30 seconds to read as text.
There’s a reason Gawd invented ASCII, folks!

Thou shalt always compose thy e-mail messages in thine own mail program, using the holy codes of ASCII. The beast that sloucheth from Redmond shall be as anathema in thine eyes, that thine computers shall never crash. And never shalt thou use html tags in an impious manner, nor deface message boards with uneccary smileys. The Revelation to Saint FUBAR, IV: 3-4
HTML email blows wild peccary (and for that matter, any domesticated peccary out there). It’s enough that you sent me mail, you don’t need some lame background and fonts and colors to go with it. Not once have I ever thought “that was a stupid message they wrote, but that HTML really made it worth my while!”
“I guess one person can make a difference, although most of the time they probably shouldn’t.”
Those vaginal inserty thingies grow wild somewhere?

I’ll have to assume there’s something else that sounds close the the word meaning a pacydermatous quadrapod from South and Central America and allied to the swine family.
