I prefer a somewhat looser (and to my mind, more practical) standard. What can the average user's machine reasonably be expected to understand? Sure, somebody may be reading this email on an aging ][+ or text-only Linux client. But this list isn't geared toward ][+ users or users of campus mainframes. If i had to assume anything, it would be that people on this list are using at least something as up-to-date as a G3 to read their email. And as noted, those machines are quite capable of decoding markup. Even if specific users choose not to do so.
