As I clearly said both, but actually less so html. You seem to be under
the impression Androids mail clients let you avoid all that but they do
not. Talk about hitting your head against a brick wall.

That would be to do with scripts and remote content.

Remote content Is as you have said almost always switchable and so was
not a concern/thought of mine but yes, what people shout about. Scripts,
well with Googles love of javascript (for obvious tracking reasons) I
wouldn't be too surprised if that is enabled without recourse on
android email.
