The reason this option is in the digest section is it affects only the
format of digests. It is totally meaningless for non-digest
subscribers.
If you select MIME digests, the digest is multipart with each message
in its own part. Otherwise it is flat plain text.

Your questions are not relevant to what you are doing. To send MIME
format messages to non-digest subscribers you just post that format to
the list and either turn off content filtering or adjust the content
filtering to pass what you want.
