The problem lies in that multipart messages take up much more space than
just simply using plain text to compose the message. Somehow, Shakespeare
B1FF were able to make their points without html.
IMAO, most of us have no need to use multipart messages as we rarely post
or mail messages that would benefit from graphics or sound files. And in
usenet, there is the problem of where such posts should go,
alt.multipart.* ? so uucp sites (for example) or any one paying by the
minute for connectivity can easily avoid such posts.
