XF 2.1 How to preview a plain text version of email to users

[Mr Lucky]

I note that if you batch send a email to users and format as html (with html box ticked obviously) there is a note:

A text version of your email will be generated by removing all HTML tags.

Perhaps a daft question, but I presume this means if a recipient has an email client that receives plain text, then the html tags will be stripped automatically so for example instead of seeing a link https://xenforo.com/community/

They will see this https://xenforo.com/community/ and so will need to copy and paste in a browser

(I'm a bit confused because if I send a plain text email, then the links are actual links so they do seem to contain html <a href="https://xenforo.com/community/">https://xenforo.com/community/</a>

Also is there anyway I can test this, ie see exactly what they would see? (I'm using Mac mail and I don't think there is a way to just receive a plain text)

Did you found a solution to send email as plain text ?

Send one just to yourself. That's what I do.

It wasn't so much how to send as plain text (you have the option for either html OR plain text, but my question was more about how the html email would look to someone with just a plain text email client.
