I think rich text is an excellent idea, but wait until lots of people have
your mail reader before we start posting rich text, or nobody will like
it.  You should certainly build in the capability, in my opinion.

If worst comes to worst, we could start comp.sys.next.rtf to handle the
specially formatted messages, but I don't think it would come to that.

It would be great to have a way to include files in postings, too, so
people could drag them out of news into their directory structure.
