Default Edit plain text version in MIME?

Hello,

I'm working on developing a newsletter template. I've done the HTML part using a macro, but when converted to plain text it's unreadable.

(I mean, when I do Format > Plain Text in the new email window, after loading the HTML template. I am assuming that what results is what a recipient whose email client only supports plain text would see. If I'm wrong about that, please let me know!)

I am assuming that Outlook sends the email as multipart MIME. Is that right?

If so, is there a way for me to modify the plain text version that is sent alongside my HTML version?

If there is no way to modify it, then the only alternative I can think of is to create a separate TXT file each week, to attach it to the email, and to include a bit in the template that directs recipients whose email is garbled for whatever reason to open the TXT attachment. That seems a bit tedious. If you have a better idea, I'd love to hear it!
