Why use HTML in emails though?
Aside: it's nice that the site checks , but dir/direction is much more widely used in practice and should be added.

Something like this? http://www.rfc-editor.org/rfc/rfc1896.txt
Thanks for the RFC link. Yes, basically. I mean, different mime versions of the same content are a possibility to do this transition: Send both plaintext, HTML and markdown, and the receiver could choose to display markdown if he otherwise would display plain text. To be honest, this won't come. Google is pushing AMP into mails, that's exactly the opposite direction.
And this tool to test emails before sending: https://litmus.com/
It would be really nice to have a small and simple markup language, say some markdown standard, to be the layouting language for E-Mails. No (external) images, just links, lists, headings, basic formatting. HTML E-Mails are a security nightmare, even if "only" CSS is "allowed" and JS/iframes/external images are not loaded.
Markdown is also not any better than HTML in terms of security - most markdown parsers allow passing through arbitrary HTML, and then depend on sanitizing the HTML for security.
What you are asking for is effectively a smaller subset of HTML to be used for for email (which is kind of how it started...)

I think that would be difficult to calculate accurately. We can collect user-agent statistics from browsers but mail clients don't have an equivalent when reading mail.
A rough estimate would satisfy me at least. Seems Litmus has farily broad statistics from 823 million opened emails: https://emailclientmarketshare.com/ (August 2019)

It supports responsive email designs and has many examples which you can alter to your needs.
You can see the power here: https://mjml.io/try-it-live the basic 15 line example expands to 188 lines of html so that it looks the same everywhere.
I'm all over for using cutting edge CSS solutions but when it comes to HTML email, I'm just: Hello ... ... Thanks! and it's done :)
How about this? Hello ... ... Thanks!
