Could this be because of the particular email client you're using? I use
gmail and they look fine. Probably not fair to judge the system on the
capabilities
of your email client. Wouldn't the same thing happen if people sent you
email from
gmail, etc. with embedded html? What the mailing list mode does do is to
allow you to
read and respond without a browser.
No, if an email sender (Discourse) uses multipart/alternative with two
attachments, text/plain and text/html, then it is required that the
sender format the text/plain part as text with no HTML in it. It is
also required to send semantically similar contents in both the
text/plain and text/html parts, so that the text/plain part can act as
a real human-readable alternative in the multipart/alternative message
(i.e. it shouldn't set the text/plain part to be something like "Your
email client doesn't support HTML. Please open this message in an
HTML-capable client.")
In my experience so far with the 3 messages I've received from
Discourse in mailing-list mode, it doesn't send raw HTML in the
text/plain attachment. It sends something that looks like BBcode:

GitHub is best for discovery - nobody searches GitLab or Bitbucket for
projects. I use them for private repos, but if I want to engage a
wider community than my workstation or laptop, I’m going to put my
repo on GitHub.
