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,

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).
