The module description displayed at /admin/modules:

"Enables HTML in system emails."

If I'm correct that this module does not result in delivery of HTML emails, then the description is potentially confusing. The description on the project page is more accurate: "Lets you theme your messages the same way you theme the rest of your website." However, it may be helpful to explicitly state that drupal will still send emails as plain text when this module is installed, unless additional steps are taken (such as setting the appropriate headers).

That is, if I understand correctly.

You are welcome to modify the documentation, or suggest replacement text in places that you're not allowed to modify.

But, in context, "Enables HTML in system emails." is exactly correct - Drupal core does not allow HTML in system emails, but if you install HTML Mail you MAY use HTML in system emails. Drupal does NOT send plain text emails with this module installed, it sends all email as HTML.
