Even though what the Mail app sends isn't strict plain ASCII, it's plain enough so the PDML listserver doesn't reject it.
I expect that the problem is as soon as you embed a link, the Mail app turns it into HTML markup (a hotlink) and changes the content type of the mail body to accomodate that. *That* is what the PDML then rejects as being too modern for us old fuddy-duddies.
