[...] plus another one [i run Mail.app such that all e.mail i compose is plain text; if i insert an image in an e.mail, any text i type below that image is not received by the recipient if they are using Outlook for Windows].
a message with an inline image is not literally a plain text message; what Mail creates is a multipart message in which two text/plain parts surround a binary image part; content-disposition of the image part is "inline", but the second text part has no content-disposition noted; it might work better if the latter were also "inline", but in any case i think multiple email clients will have problems with Mail's behavior; for example, Gmail shows the inline image _after_ the second text part
Thunderbird handles it fine, though if you turn off display of inline attachments it will also not display the final text part (both are presented as attachments); as a practical matter, unless you know the capabilities of your recipient, i would avoid inline images in plain text email
