Provide plain text alternative to HTML message

Open fmichonneau opened this issue 5 years ago • 2 comments

I saw that #62 raised the issue of plain-text alternative for use with RStudio Connect but I'm wondering about using [multipart/alternative](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/MIME#Alternative) more generally as a way to provide a plain-text fall back for email clients that do not support HTML content.

It looks like a lot of the mechanic to make this work is already part of the package.

Were you hoping to be able to explicitly provide the plaintext content, or for blastula to automatically dumb down the HTML to plaintext for you?

I'm writing my emails in markdown, so providing the raw markdown as the plain-text version of the email would be great but I'm not sure how that would generalize to other use cases of blastula.
