Can you describe how to reproduce this issue?

The text/plain part is actually used as-is by clients that cannot or prefer not to render the HTML content, which I assume is the reason why Discourse is including it in the first place. As some empirical evidence, the reason I’m reporting is that a real person with a real email client complained that the spacing is odd in the usual client that tends to work well otherwise (for some value of that).
As a real person who uses an email client (might not be real) who does see the text/plain parts, my feeling is Discourse is above average here. I have a little nit that the text is text/markdown, not text/plain, but it looks a lot better than some sites that obviously just use very poor html to text filters. “Oh, look, it forgot to strip the style sheet!”
The “minor nit” bit from the first post is probably accurate.
