I have to agree with Rob. I also have my email set to disable HTML.
One of my pet peeves is readability. Some people do not properly apply
HTML, especially backgrounds. When I have my resolution set at 1024 x
768, backgrounds start to repeat and interfere with the actual text,
which is what I wanted to read in the first place. Bandwidth is also a
concern. A simple message with a link should be enough: less
icing/frosting, more quality content.

Has anyone else ever ran into filtering problems or negative feedback
because they have sent an HTML email to a friend or a client?
