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.
