In terms of VMS Mail, it just isn't worth the trouble. However, using a
GUI mail reader does require you go through the trouble of finding the
config parameters to disable displaying of any HTML or other evil
formats (including javascript).

What I would like to see in GUI email clients is text-only by default,
and you have a button to render the message in its full format when
needed (for instancem, when you get an email from someone you know).
