I guess we lost. But my mail clients will be configured to send mail in plain text until the end of time.
I'm confused what the take away from this is supposed to be.
I suppose I have become too old. In "my day", HTML was just beginning to creep into email, and there was the beginnings of a huge religious war to keep mail in plain text. I guess we lost. But my mail clients will be configured to send mail in plain text until the end of time.

Are these "good" from a design aspect, or "good" because they convert?
There are a lot of people out there who want to try to justify their tastes by making them sound like they're rooted in some kind of scientific consensus but it's rather rare for that to actually be the case. Designers are especially vulnerable to this and the way that industry jumps on the bandwagon and self-righteously snubs anyone who doesn't do so with them is amazing.
To some of us, a good email is 1-2 lines of pure text, and we'd rather go without the bells, whistles, and tracking images.

My signature has been a little ASCII-art box for years. Probably decades, now. It renders correctly in almost nothing, these days.
I like the idea -- a browsable archive of quality email layouts -- but most of the ones I looked at were pretty mediocre.
If you'd like to see a better submission process, it's an open-source product on Assembly: https://assembly.com/really-good-emails . There's been lots of talk about just forwarding an email to an address and having the community vote on what they think are great emails. It also made $1350 last month which is split between contributors so there's some financial incentive for you to jump in :)
Judging by the fact that there's no preview for text-only view, I'm guessing not...

How did it make $1350 in revenue? I can't see any revenue-generating aspects at first glance... it just looks like a user-submitted gallery site to me.
