My preferred method of receiving newsletters is plain text in my e-mail
box with a link to the fancy HTML-CSS-Flash-and-kitchen-sink version
online, if deemed necessary.

I never really saw the need for HTML in e-mail. I always thought HTML
belonged on the Web, and plain text (with attachments as needed)
belonged in the e-mail box.
