Many people and some e-mail services, especially those run by security
conscious administrators at a company will automatically block HTML
content because it has so much potential for carrying malware.

Merely opening an HTML message can infect a computer.

I'm not saying your company does anything wrong, just pointing out
that best practices, including those published by Microsoft often call
for opening e-mails only in plain text.

The various filters to enforce these rules can cause problems because
of security settings.
