True, many people on mailing lists will complain (maybe "most everyone I 
write emails to" did not include this list :) ), but in TB it's possible 
to set which recipients will only accept plain text. To configure this 
stuff:
TB -> preferences -> composition -> general -> send options
and there you see which domains accept (i.e. TB will send in a specific 
format) which format. I can't find a setting for having html as default 
format, however.
HTH,
