1) Text-based readers find it incomprehensible.
2) Those that read from alternative devices (phones, pagers, etc) have to put 
up with html tags from within.
3) It increases the size of the message without contributing to the content. 
For people that receive tons of email and have mail box quota this can cause 
their box to fill prematurely.  And people with slow dial-up connections have 
to tolerate longer download times.
4) Some of the mail readers that do comprehend HTML render the message in 
illegibly small fonts.
5) Many of the people who can help you with your problems filter out HTML 
formatted email.  You'll reduce the number of potential people who can help 
you out of a jam.

That is just a few of the problems.
