What do people think about HTML in email newsletters?

If you sign up for email updates or notices from a company, are you put off by HTML formatting (images / background colors / etc) in the emails? Is there a point where the HTML formatting is too much? How to you feel about: inline links, font-sizes / text-formatting, background colors, tables, etc? What's acceptable and what isn't?

  1. I think most are better WITH the HTML formatting than without. Although, if there is too much formatting or too many pictures so that it takes a long time to load, it doesn't look good at all.
  2. As long as they are not using the HTML formatting to display banner ads it is okay. It usually adds to the readability of the newsletter.
  3. it's better if the email contains the HTML code looks better and easier to comprehend
