Should I send plain-text or HTML emails for SaaS?

Plain text wins for founder-voice broadcasts, transactional emails, and re-engagement sequences – it looks personal and reaches the primary inbox more reliably. HTML wins for newsletters with visual content (screenshots, charts, product updates). Most indie SaaS over-design their emails. Default to plain text and add HTML only when the content genuinely needs it.
