But they are a lot easier to see and click (accessibility, larger hit area). You could have a larger text instead of a button, but changing font size is also HTML and not plain-text anymore.
You can just send a link, and the user's client will probably highlight it even if it is plain text.
Yea, but how will they hide all the tracking URLs and base64 encoded PII from you in the email?

Using a URL shortener obviously. But you are right, if they only send plain text, they won't be able to include those 1x1 images at the bottom to track whether you have opened the email. Any sane email client blocks images by default, but whatever.

I don’t have problems seeing and clicking normal text, thank you very much. I don’t want buttons on my emails.

Every MUA I've used allows the reader to set a font size, so changing font sizes is 100% a feature of plain-text emails. Then they get the link the size they need to read it correctly and it's absolutely easy to read. This here comment is pain text. Is it hard to read this link:
I don't think so. I certainly didn't have to resort to HTML to make that link readable and clickable.

#29Great project! And if you don't mind a little workaround and some Python scripting, you can turn a regular Obsidian folder into an automatic outbox. Write markdown, drag, drop, and ship.

#30Anything that makes email development easier is great I guess, but have personally found MJML great for solving the issues you'd run into, and not sure I want yet another abstraction layer on top of that which makes it more limited...
