While I am not the admin, I did a quick search (aprox 17000 msg of the
last 18 month): about 2600 or 15% seem to include html.
Including mails of many developers, Including some of mine.
IMHO that rule should be seen as an ancient relict (so long as mails are
at least mixed, and have a plain-text part too). Even mobile phones have
the power and cheap and fast enough connectivity to deal with html mail.
