Might be interesting to see how much HTML and attachments contribute to
viruses and spam. For instance, what's the percentage of HTML that's spam vs.
percentage of plain text?

(This is not to stomp out HTML, but to show users and management the
associated cost and why it should be reserved for messages that really need
it.)
