This is true.

The user can set his own preferred format on the settings page, however
the current default is indeed set to Plain Text. Thanks for pointing
this out.

Unless anyone objects, I propose changing it to MIME.

However as I've said before, the justification for using Digest mode on
lists has virtually disappeared. If at all possible people should avoid
it. It belongs to the days of slow dial-up modems. I'm not saying we
should eliminate it as there may be people who really do need it, but
they are at most a very small minority.
