plain ascii with chars >128 coded ä->"a is the only one that everyone

read, or at least that all mail programs can display.

simple HTML is close behind

Where do you use Mimetools in the chain - is Zope's mailhost with its 
mime support not enough

I don't think that RTF is more universally readable than HTML. And from 
your description it seems that the problem is not in encoding (HTML or
RTF), 
but in packaging (by Mimetools).

If you insist on using RTF, then DTML is very usable for generating that
too,
as DTML is quite format-agnostic, for it it is just text anyhow  ;)
