Plain text notification emails (and plain text alternative for HTML?)

[geerlingguy]

I may be missing something, but I'm trying to set up email auth and notifications on my site, and I set:

AUTH_EMAIL_CONTENT_TYPE=text/plain

This correctly sends the email with the content type in the header:

Content-Type: text/plain; charset="UTF-8"

However, the body of the text only contains the HTML (which is rendered in plain text), there is no plain text alternative:

I had assumed if I set text/plain, it would just drop the HTML from the email contents, and only send the raw text. But I may be missing another option?

Thanks for this great project, I'm still getting up to speed with it over in geerlingguy/jeffgeerling-com#167

AUTH_EMAIL_CONTENT_TYPE=text/plain only sets the MIME header, it doesn't transform the email body. The templates are HTML, so you get raw markup as plain text.

To send proper plain-text emails, you need to provide custom templates that output plain text instead of HTML. See the documentation for available template variables, a plain-text example, and mounting instructions: https://remark42.com/docs/configuration/email/#plain-text-emails

Please let me know if it helped and you managed to set up the plain text email, and feel free to update the documentation if something is off!
