Plain text is the most basic and standard format that *ANY* email client
can read. Any other platform (Linux, sun, Atari (j/k), etc.) would not
be able to read RTF format and some wont be able to read HTML format.
Have you or your lawyers saw some email messages that had some junk HTML
code within a message so bad that you can't read the message itself. And
there's waayyy to many people have different preference on how to
"decorate" their email message with HTML to a point it can be quite
annoying for those who receive it. 

So the main point is - plain text is the best email format out there -
barnone.

In addition to the other objections raised, there are plenty of tricks
that could be done with stylesheets, embedded content, &c. that would
substantially mask or change the content of a message after it had been
received by your lawyers. Plain text makes it much harder to insert
small print.
