Never HTML, please. The beauty of the present system is quick 
downloading of text only. If everyone starts attaching or embedding 1 Mb 
photos with fine details, then it will take forever and a day to 
download. Have pity on those who are still forced to use narrow-band 
Internet because their ISP does not offer anything faster than a nominal 
56 kbit/s (usually slower) dial-up. I have the max available here of 2 
Mbit/s ADSL and even that can be deadly slow with largish attachments.

PLEASE NO!
