Oh come now (grin or no grin)! That would take us back to the textual-content-only era that was already ending by about 1995. Non-textual content and good looks in e-mail do matter in 2018!
Inline HTML containing the nub of the email? Matters for marketing/commerce (and spam)... not for normal person to person communication. MUUG [RndTbl] seems to do quite fine without it! :-)
I'll grant you attached pics are handy, but making the actual email content HTML is hurl-inducing. Not to mention 99% of the punters out there *still* don't format their email correctly even with all the HTML WYSIWYG gadgets. In fact, it usually makes them worse (ever see one trying to inline reply point-by-point and getting it completely wrong? and they probably spent an hour doing so). Ugh. (Oh ya, and email marketers are tracking the heck out of your HTML email MUA...)
