I currently use Mutt (a CLI email client), but not long ago I was getting list traffic through Thunderbird (a GUI email client). Even so, I was using "simplified HTML" settings that did not display images at all. The end result was that all that prettified HTML formatting spammers used was gone, as were inlined images. Although Thunderbird did a reasonably good job of turning HTML email into what looked like text-only email, it still rendered some HTML-formatted email into gibberish. Luckily, what it handled fairly well was email produced in email clients that had HTML formatting turned on by default -- which is all I really needed it to do, so that I could read emails from people who just didn't know any better.

Spam filters are fairly good these days. Thunderbird disables all images in HTML by default, unless you click "display" or add the sender to your address book, and HTML is disabled in spam by default.
Anyway, since quite a few email clients autolink things in plaintext emails, you could probably get away with sending it out as a bunch of links. Now if only their was an email client that would render Mediawiki markup...
