Regarding file size, I have seen some individuals use wallpaper that was a link to a URL... but it still used bandwidth to download the file.

Regarding accessibility: I recall a setting where a user can set OE to turn HTML mail into plain text, thus eliminating those problems (and also protecting against spam, virus and etc.)

I would assume that having the e-mail converted to plain text would solve accessibility issues. Also, I think that certain MIME encoding would have plain text separate from the dooded-up (technical term) version.
