I think the decision should not relate to personal screen reader users'
opinions, but it should rather relate to what your company prefers and
decides it best to convey messages to all.


Both can absolutely be made accessible, so I'm a bit baffled that this
is even a question.


I can't remember the last time I saw any company distributing plain text
emails, so I wouldn't ever expect that.


If you choose to use HTML, below my name are links to a few articles in
a current series on this topic.
