To me that's like saying what functionality does a color tv have over black and white or what functionality does your ipod provide over my portable cassette player :)
The ability to use bold, italic, underline, formatting, fonts, colors, hyperlinks and a lot of other things HTML gives you make email much more readable (yes some people do go overboard).  Javascript should not be enabled in email clients but plain html is just fine (except for the blink tag).
