we were wondering if there's still a good reason for adding plain
text to a html message. Is there a significant audience reading in
plain text? Is plain text important for accessibility?
As others have said "significant" is significantly hard to define.
The percentage of human recipients reading plain text is probably
declining. Still, IMHO, a plain text alternative part has the
advantage that the sender has control over it. Without a plain text
alternative it is up to the recipients to convert the HTML to
something readable. This is known to lead to unwanted and certainly
less than optimal results.
For a list of pros and cons of HTML in general see e.g. my list
