 the @ is inappropriate).  The .ORG should probably not be capitalized,

 A slight rewrite and reorganization from most common to less common:
 
    +        <para>Email must be in open source formats only.  Plain
    +          ASCII text, Portable Document Format (PDF), or PostScript
    +          are appropriate.
 
 (Is PostScript really something that should be mentioned here?  It has
 more interchange issues than either of the others.  I'm also unsure
 whether "open source" is a good description of these formats, but can't
 think of anything better at the moment.)

 And maybe a change of tense?
