E-mail was invented so people could quickly exchange text messages over fast or slow or really slow connections, using simple, non-processor-intensive applications on any computing platform, or using phones, or hand-held devices, or almost anything else that can display text and permits typing.
That's what e-mail is for. That's why it's great.
There is not much more I think I'd add to that: it says in a nutshell what there is to be said about all this teenage need to use HTML mail - and all would be fine if only kids were the ones having this need! But "your uncle" got this idea at some point that the mail message "looks nicer" the way he conceived it, he does not trust you to configure your mail client to please your own needs.
