HTML or Plain Text Emails?
Dave (our developer) wanted to know if we were going to send out text e-mails when we welcome people to the service or html e-mails? We’ve decided to go with all plain text emails for now. It’s simpler and you know that everyone is going to be able to read them. Obviously text e-mails don’t look as nice as HTML, but it sure makes things simpler, as you don’t have to try to test the HTML e-mails on 50 different e-mail clients (ugh!).
Though I’m sure you must be acquainted with CampaignMonitor and their very robust guidelines on email formatting.
Multipart is pretty straightforward to do too. HTML/Text in one.

Plain text all the way, baby! HTML is for web sites, innit?

I tend to choose the Plain Text format even when I have a choice of HTML. Easier and quicker to read.
