Due to an increased network threat condition, the Defense Department is
blocking all HTML-based e-mail messages and has banned the use of Outlook
Web Access e-mail applications, according to a spokesman for the Joint Task
Force for Global Network Operations.

Better late than never. I banned them (and MIME mails) some years ago
(though I run my mail on VMS and don't fear virii/worms)...
"Text mails only here. No HTML or binaries needed for proper communications..."
What do you do when someone needs to send a Word document to someone else
at a remote location (inbound or outbound)? The Business Woirld still
runs on MS Office, like it or not.
Word documents can also carry malware. Likely to be banned also, sometime soon.
Text documents will suffice in the vast majority of cases.
The world did not begin with M$ - it will not stop without it, either.
