Thanks everyone for all the helpful info and links. I have a lot to
read over now.
A bit more to consider:
1-Some people set their email readers to force display of message body as
plain text. If not sent as MIME to include a plain text version, it might be
displaying some formatting as content, likely leading to it not being read at
all, or otherwise not leading a result you're hoping for. Or, its content
might not be displayed at all, which might be interpreted as incompetence of
the sender.
2-A link alone instead, or accompanied by a brief plain text summary, would
be opened in a web browser with a click. Absent application of the usual
defense mechanisms to force legibility, it would more likely be displayed as
you expect. Better that click than a click on the delete button.
3-If your email results from subscription, the subscription itself needs an
option for plain text only. Email sent by the sub needs to include a link to
a page that enables this option to be readily accessed.
