This question from Jan 2005 is still a problem. All the addresses I load into mailman end up with a check in the "plain" box when listed under membership management. I seem to recall (from years ago) a config choice for new non-digest subscribers to force plain format, but it's not in the 2.1.14 version.
The current admin manual does not address (that I can find) what effect the plain check box has on non-digest subscribers. If there is no effect, perhaps I can contribute some text to explain what happens--when I know.
The plain/MIME setting only affects digests. It has no effect whatsoever on non-digest subscribers.
The actual option bit exists for all subscribers and is controlled for new subscribers by the Digest options -> mime_is_default_digest setting, but it only actually affects the format of the digest for digest subscribers.
