Adoption
Since its conception, a number of people have vocally opposed all HTML email (and even MIME itself), for a variety of reasons. The ASCII Ribbon Campaign is an internet phenomenon advocating that email should continue to be sent in Human Readable ASCII text format. While still considered inappropriate in many newsgroup postings and mailing lists, its adoption for personal and business mail has only increased over time. Some of those who strongly opposed it when it first came out now see it as mostly harmless.
According to surveys by online marketing companies, adoption of HTML-capable email clients is now nearly universal, with less than 3% reporting that they use text-only clients. A smaller number, though still the majority, prefer it over plain text.

Famous quotes containing the word adoption:
“Frankly, I adore your catchy slogan, “Adoption, not Abortion,” although no one has been able to figure out, even with expert counseling, how to use adoption as a method of birth control, or at what time of the month it is most effective.”
—Barbara Ehrenreich (b. 1941)
