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).
