There's three reasons people knee-jerk against HTML email:

1.  It isn't ASCII (i.e. the "Back in my day a child would open up a gift
and within seconds he'd either burst into flames or lose a limb! That's the
way it was and we liked it!"[1] Defense).
2a.  There isn't an email program alive which can do a "Reply" to an HTML
email properly.
I'm using one right now...

Mozilla (Thunderbird) handles replying to HTML email just fine.

2b. ...especially those which support VT-100 terminals.
3.  The lines are longer than 80 characters ;-).

I fall under category 2a, but my knee isn't jerking: If Outlook didn't
absolutely s*ck *ss at "editing" HTML I wouldn't care.
You can't blame everything on your choice to use Outlook.
