If you want your email to look the same on all clients text/plain is the way to go.

That's not true. Plain text is usually hard wrapped with newlines, which leads to awful experiences on small screens.

You can send plain text encoding with format=flowed to avoid the hard wrap. Personally I prefer 80 chars, though. Still looks fine in landscape mode on any phone.
