Many people love their BlackBerry. HTML email doesn't always work on BlackBerry phones. It's not a surprise when someone opens an HTML message to discover that the BlackBerry has converted the message to plain text, often butchering the HTML in the process and making the message unreadable. Even though many BlackBerrys are capable of changing a message to a text-only version, most of the Blackberry HTML email viewer programs prefer to ignore the text-only version. There are ways to read HTMl email on a BlackBerry.
