Yes, it's a horrible mixed up world.  But what I said before still
counts.  The HTML emails I get come up in mutt with an option to view
them.  I press 'v' and they load up in my browser.  The most annoying
thing is that this makes them hard to quote reply to but usually my reply
consists of 'Please re-send this not in HTML' so it's not really a
problem.

But I don't think this is what Bret was talking about.  He's worried
that the apocalypse may come to his network and computer based upon him
receiving HTML emails.
