Here, I think, is the point at which various posters' results diverge.
I've never had anyone complain about my text/plain emails, but I've
never had any need to write fancy stuff.  Even Outlook seems incapable
of badly damaging blocks of text, indented blocks of text, *emphasis*,
_underscore/italics_, or lists.

(Or else my correspondents are more tolerant than I'd thought they
needed to be.)
