Are you referring to the 'plain' checkbox on the Membership 
Management... Membership List... page?  That controls the format of the 
list digests (allowing you to select either plain text or MIME 
formatted digests).  You can set the default on the Digest options... 
page.  It does not refer to HTML formatted email.

If you want users to receive HTML formatted messages, you will want to 
mail HTML messages (or multipart-alternative) messages to the list, and 
make sure you have configured Content filtering... not to remove them 
or convert text/html parts into plain text.  (You may also want to make 
sure the msg_footer is an empty string.)
