Probably a little bit of everything...  Personally, Mozilla Thunderbird.

The digest doesn't strip out the tags -or- make them readable?  Sounds 
like an opportunity for some open-source innovation!  :)

I doubt you'll offend anyone with your request.  You make not get 
compliance either.  ;)  For me, it takes some remembering to go up and 
switch that "HTML" setting to "Plain Text" when I'm dealing with a 
mailing list.  It's easy in newsgroups, because I tell it to use plain 
text for everything there.

I like using HTML mail, personally.  (Besides, my sig block probably 
looks like crap in plain text...)  I know there are people who are 
rabidly opposed to it, and I find it really ironic that they're usually 
really smart folks.  Heck, if you're smart enough to get Linux going...  :)
