Does sending plain-text-only emails restore inboxing?

Myth: False. Plain text emails do not restore inboxing. Format does not determine deliverability. Plain text from a damaged sender faces the same problems as HTML from that sender.

This myth confuses format with reputation. Filters evaluate sender characteristics regardless of message format. Plain text does not bypass reputation assessment.

Use appropriate format for your content. Do not switch to plain text expecting deliverability improvement. Fix actual causes of deliverability problems.
