Hi,
While I, a mutt user, prefer plain-text emails, I have heard more than
once from blind people (Marco Zehe is one example) that they prefer
HTML emails. This doesn't mean they all do or that other users with
disabilities feel similarly but it seemed the structure HTML offers
is useful for some users of AT.

I believe it's Campagne Monitor who recommends sending both types
out, not because of ability or AT but because of email client
limitations.
