Ability to send emails as true plaintext

[dmac]

Currently our emails are sent as html. It would be useful for users who do not want (or are unable to view) html emails to have the ability to receive them as plaintext. This could either be a user-configurable option, or we could smartly fall-back to plaintext if a mail reader is stripping out html. Below is the use-case from our mailing list:

In Thunderbird when viewing as plain text (possibly subject to some HTML cleaning heuristics failing, or just all the time) html only messages are displayed as a blank screen. Most clients will send html & text if they are are going to send html. I think this is a likely setting for people to use since many mailing lists treat html as spam and monospace formatting is often used.

When sending an email with pony you can send both HTML and plaintext parts
in the same email. The mail reader should be able to render the version it
wants. I think that would be enough; we don't need a user configurable
option in barkeep.
