1) Text-based readers find it incomprehensible.
2) Those that read from alternative devices (phones, pagers, etc) have to put
up with html tags from within.
3) It increases the size of the message without contributing to the content.
For people that receive tons of email and have mail box quota this can cause
their box to fill prematurely. And people with slow dial-up connections have
to tolerate longer download times.
4) Some of the mail readers that do comprehend HTML render the message in
illegibly small fonts.
5) Many of the people who can help you with your problems filter out HTML
formatted email. You'll reduce the number of potential people who can help
you out of a jam.
That is just a few of the problems.
