One might /hope/ that subscribers are not using mail readers that
render HTML "mail" via a web browser with a HUGE attack surface.

That's not necessarily just an MS Outlook thing:  Once Upon A Time,
Eudora loaded up Internet Explorer to display HTML messages in what
appeared to be Eudora's own interface; I learned this when doing data
recovery and forensics on an OS trashed by malware that arrived via
that vector.
