I ingeneral prefer the HTML messages also.

I have three grievances with HTML messages one of which has already been
mentioned. Specifically when graphics are either not labeled or are
improperly labeled.

The other one seems to be particular to the implementation of Gmail on the
web especially when running on one of my Mac OS systems. In these cases if
GMAIL gives the message about graphics / images not being loaded from a
spepecific sender then where there are graphical links I get a long
alphanumeric string spoken.
Also, some e-mail clients are not great with presenting tables to Screen
Readers.
