But .html looks nicer in browsers, and is easily converted to .txt either via
Netscape Communicator's File, Save As .txt, or via lynx -dump (just the
two browsers I use most often, not an exhaustive .html->.txt list).

For example, all of the POSIX release announcements that I post to HP3000-L
are authored in HTML web page form, but I just simply do File, Save As .txt
before mailing to HP3000-L.
