Would it be possible to drop the HTML and use text/plain mail? :)

Well, you got that kind of backwards.
The daily mass-check is to evaluate the SA rules' performance and
accuracy, and to generate frequent re-scoring based on recent spam. For
that, the rules already need to be part of the SA rule-set, so to speak,
or at least under evaluation.
The rules used for the mass-check run are in SVN. To commit rules there,
one needs to be a committer to the SA project first.
Again, the mass-check is done for re-scoring of the live rule-set und
publishing new rules, pushed to the users via sa-update. The current
infrastructure and workflow probably is not well-suited for experi-
mentation, but that depends on the nature of your automated rule
generation. Also, depending on the nature and amount of rules, it might
impose a considerably increased load to the contributors.
Anyway, without knowing some clear details first, we cannot even know if
it might be possible.

Well, not absolutely sure, but I believe most mass-check contributors
are running it locally on their machines, and just upload the logs.
