Not sure, but I suspect that some mailers, such as Outlook, may do this by
default.

Absolutely not. But it's a good reason not to interpret html emails if it
is  feasible to ignore them (for instance, they're definitely not from
your boss, a client, or your mother) or read a text alternative.  Spammers
often send html-only because if you read the text version they don't get
any feedback.
