Why?  HTML emails are the easiest to classify because spammers can't help 
but try to do tricks with them.  Detect just one trick, and you've got a 
100% ID as spam.  The most common and unavoidable is this: <a 
href="spammer.com">paypal.com</a>.  Now I'm not suggesting that you have to 
run SpamAssassin or a hundred procmail recipes, but I'll definitely expend a 
little extra processing power to detect such flagrant and persistent scams. 
Meanwhile, I quite enjoy my HTML newsletters.
