Create a plain-text version of an HTML email

When sending an HTML email, it's a good idea to also provide a plaintext version of the email — it's often used by email clients and accessibility tools to give users a better understanding of the contents of the email.

If you don't provide a plaintext version, Gmail and other email clients will try to generate a version of their own. This often leads to mangled or confusing text that can be confusing for the reader.
