What is the difference between a plain text message and an HTML message?
HTML
Plain-text messages are more to the point, without the distraction of colors, fonts, and clickable hyperlinks. When creating an HTML message, GetResponse creates its plain text
In the new editor the Plain-text version is generated automatically based on your HTML message.

Why do you suggest creating a Plain Text version of my HTML messages?
Some subscribers may use an email program that does not handle HTML. Or they may view the email from a mobile device.
The Plain Text can be added to all HTML messages, to give subscribers more than one way to view your messages. The Plain Text content can differ from your HTML message if you wish. However, you can save time in editing mode by clicking Automatic plain text message in Create step, where you can preload the text.
You can locate that option in the bottom left corner of the screen.
