You'll have to ask them. It's a long-standing rule on the LEM lists, and 
frankly, I've rarely seen any instance where rich text adds any useful 
information, and when you have a mashed up mixture of three text replies and 
two different Rich text ones, one of which renders as 3-point script 27 inches 
wide on the screen you'll learn to despise that particular abomination.

And Dog help us if some idiot replies from their work account using Exchange 
which decides to send out an unusable winmail.dat file because Microsoft 
"Declare darkness a standard" thinks that everyone in the world uses Outlook.

Not to mention what happens when it's a digest you're attempting to read. 

You seem to not understand that not everyone reads this list in the Gmail web 
interface; some of us use *real* email clients.
