What your letter will look like depends on how your intended recipients have their email clients configured.

When I get html letters, what I see is the code, with the message mixed in. I specifically bar my client from automatically showing the message as a 'page.' Unless I know the sender, I just delete the message without bothering to see it translated to colors, pictures, etc.

I do it in self-defense. It prevents programs (read malicious code - *.js and *.vbs scripts ) embedded in the code from executing on my computer.

Of course, my client is also configured with my virus protection, which adds another layer of protection.
