The list doesn't "support" or "not support" rich text or plain text email; mail clients do. The only thing that needs support for rich text emails on the list side is the list archives, and I never saw problems with HTML emails there. Inline images remain viewable inline ([example](https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/lilypond-user/2023-03/msg00050.html)). So there is really little to be discussed about this; it's a personal choice of each person to send plain text or HTML emails in their daily communication, and you're unlikely to change their preferences. (Speaking for myself, I switched to HTML emails some time ago to look less freaky in non-technical contexts, but I cheat: I compose my email in Markdown, so I can still write as plain text :-)
