The bad thing that happens is baby Jesus cries.

In other words, some people just don't like it, for no better reason
than personal ideology (and/or they have a non-mime email client and
don't like seeing the extra encoded stuff, and/or they have a fully HTML
capable email client, don't like it, and can't be bothered learning how
to turn off HTML viewing). There's really no way to have a productive
discussion about it (though it might be worthwhile to ask whoever is in
charge of the list to make it automatically strip html from messages, if
enough people have a strong preference)
