Add to that: Since this is the "G3-5 List", aren't any machines supported by this list capable of running OSX and/or Linux of some flavor? Add to the just given point, 10.2.8 (supported on all versions of the G3) and later all contain mail.app which natively reads rich text and html messages anyway? Steadfastly demanding people use plain-text only for email is like demanding that Apple still provide system updates for OS9 in BinHex format. It's 2010, soon to be 2011.
