Explaining Open Standards email attachements [summary what to send?]

for most uses (where formating is not important) txt inside the body of the
email is the best option. makes it easy to quote etc... character set is
also not much of a problem today since the character set is described in the
MIME header and most programms can deal with all of the character sets.
although UTF-8 encoding should be preferred today..

so i would list TXT as "ideal" (for most pruposes).
