Sorry. I was distracted by your reference to "digest options sent out
as HTML" and didn't fully comprehend your problem.

No, nothing will change if the non-digest members switch to 'plain'.
The plain/MIME setting affects only digests and is irrelevant for
non-digest members.

As far as the problem with individual messages sent to Yahoo members is
concerned, This is still a Yahoo issue 

The basic problem is that the post is not simple plain text (probably
it is at least multipart/alternative, even after content filtering if
any) so the msg_header and msg_footer can't simply be added to the
message body, but have to be added as separate MIME parts and Yahoo
mail is not doing a good job of rendering the resultant message.

This issue is discussed in some detail in the FAQ at
<http://wiki.list.org/x/84A9>.

You may be able to avoid or mitigate the issue by not having a
msg_header, but this may not be satisfactory for other reasons.
