You could tell them, as I've done with a couple of companies, if they
continue to send be HTML emails as containers for Base64 encoded mails,
then I shall cease dealing with them.

The best ones are after purchasing some software, they send you the
Invoice that contains the software key to install it, but you can't open
it because the way it's constructed, so you can't install it.

And in some situations Attacher doesn't retrieve them either, they have to
be transported to a PC and opened in Thunderbird, Mess Pro or similar.

The reply from them is always...
We are sorry you are having difficulties with our postings, but this is
the standard way our accounts dept send invoices etc... Perhaps you mail
software need updating.

Serif is one case in point, the advertising and offer emails from them are
easy to open, but once you've paid the dough, they start sending the HTML
container Base 64 types.
