These days, HTML email with inline images and fancy formatting is almost universally the territory of spammers, in my experience.
On the basis of a quick scan through my Gmail folders, I can expect to receive this kind of email from: * Amazon * Shockwave * AbeBooks * The Book People * Genes/Friends Reunited * PayPal
Happily Gmail's default is to switch the images off. It also has the nice touch of checking whether any links have different base URL's to the email originator...at least I assume that's how it knows to warn me about possible phishing...
