You've given up *politely* asking? Meaning you are now asking
impolitely? :)

Agreed. It is frustrating. But Derek, please don't give up! Even in the
worst case scenario, we can slow the acceleration. I especially take the
time to choose the battles where the email is from an automated system.
I contact the support and send something like the following:

  Could you please modify your automatic emails to also send a
  plain-text version in addition to the HTML email? This is easy to do
  and most professional emails provide a plain text version (this is
  called multi-part MIME).
 
  If this doesn't make sense to you, please forward this request to your
  tech team.

  Thanks for your time!

Best,

Scott
