#4Eh, and scented as well for those with the latest but awfully expensive email service.
Why not though, just create a pdf, observe good email etiquette just append it to a simple text email outlining the recipient the graphical pdf is about an upcoming event, including of course same details in text.

I get the point, but on mobile devices especially it is vastly more pleasant to read a decently-formatted HTML email with a dash of responsive design, for font sizing for example. And showing some text and a "Download PDF" widget - to find a PDF with exactly the same content - can actually be infuriating, because you would expect that the PDF would contain something _in addition_ to the plain text.

Yeah text only pdf that repeats email content is a bit of a fail.
Though so much of the web has moved to accommodate modern smart phones - I'm not against it, the web should still accommodate those who just won't bother to set their email client to display html elements in emails - perhaps something this tool could additionally provide - include a simple block of text half decently formatted with the same info for those who prefer it that way.
