Plain text can be read by every single mail client. It is the original format of e-mails. All other formats are kludges which "piggy-back" on top the plain text.
Believe it or not, when you send an attachment or insert a picture into an e-mail, it is actually converted into plain text before it is sent, and converted back by the receiving client.
