What It Does

This is a plugin you need but probably don't realize. It does one thing very well and very simply. For every HTML email sent by WordPress, it will provide a text alternative (within the one email).

99% of all email clients will just show the HTML version of the email. The other 1% can't properly display HTML and will show the plain text email. Without this plugin, they would have had nothing to show. The other major benefit of this plugin comes from the fact that it will reduce the chances of the emails you send ending up in the recipients spam folder.
