My issue with text-only is that I don't know how to turn off
hard-wrapping in my client. By ‘hard-wrapping’ I mean:

When displaying email in Thunderbird or K-9 Mail, quoted text is neatly
formatted with vertical bar indentation. If it is not hard-wrapped, then
this indentation plays nicely with resizing the window, zooming, or
changing between portrait and landscape orientation on my phone.

However, I always try to send as both plaintext and HTML multipart when
using a client that gives me this option. I.e., in Thunderbird, I always
try to remember to select ‘Plain and Rich (HTML) Text’ in the ‘Options’
→ ‘Format’ menu.
