At my job, I frequently send out summary charts and graphs surrounded by text.
Attachments simply do not work; my audience cannot spend the mental energy to
context-switch between text and attachments, and my reports become unusable.

I also provide hyperlinks in my reports. Sharing hyperlinks in plaintext emails
is possible, but verbose and unfriendly to the viewer.

In such circumstances, plaintext email is not human readable; I must use HTML.
