Send plaintext email

[David Gloe]

Currently only html email can be sent. It would be nice to be able to send plaintext email for those who prefer it.

To reproduce, create a email body template with no html tags in it. The resulting email will have Content-Type: text/html; charset="UTF-8" and a meta tag at the beginning.

I realize this is an old issue, but I have hit the same problem with this very useful plugin and wanted to second this. Sometimes the plain text emails can be helpful for system-to-system communication with legacy systems (at least that's my use case), but the "Content-Type: text/html" line is inserted into the email regardless of whether there is html content, like this:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=utf-8">

I have not had a chance to look at a fix, but one possible source of this problem is in SmtpNotificationRenderer.java, line 45:

MailMessage mailMessage = new MailMessage.Builder().to(emailAddress).from(from).subject(subject).text(body).header("Content-type", "text/html; charset=UTF-8").build();

This line adds a content type of "text/html" to every email. So the fact that it is defaulted may prevent true plain text emails from being sent.
