For the record, here's what I know of so far, and their authors:

A.  Richtext readers:  

1.  The simple "richtext-to-text" program in the RFC.   (nsb)
2.  The terminal-oriented richtext displayer in the metamail distribution.
(nsb)
3.  The richtext-to-Andrew parser in the latest Andrew disitrbution (nsb)
4.  A richtext-to-groff translator  (Keith Moore)
5.  There are at least two other people working on richtext displayers for
other environments, I believe, but I'm not sure I can cite them.

B.  Richtext generators:

1.  The modified Andrew-MIME, which is what I mostly use (nsb)
2.  Some plaintext-to-richtext generation software (Rhys Weatherley)
3.  A forthcoming terminal-oriented richtext generating program (nsb)

Now, my name appears a lot on the above list, but it isn't the
only name, and the things I cite as separate implementations
really are separate implementations....
