Eudora allows selection among plain text only, HTML only, plain and HTML (or cancel) when sending "styled" messages. (Mine is set up to ask each time, with plain text being the default.) I suspect that sending a few blank messages to a list and being chastised for it would be sufficient training for some. Apple's mail.app (the default mail program in Mac OS X) sends RTF, not HTML. (OK, so 128 point was extreme.) And unfortunately, out of the box it defaults to "Rich". I don't know what the list's processing will do to this sample.
