URLs are plain text... Can also easily be clickable, depending on your e-mail software.

They are, but some email clients will display text that doesn't match the original URL. Hence the advice to hover the mouse pointer over the link and tread the original URL text that way.

If you use plain text mode they won't be able to. Hence the advice to disable HTML in e-mails.
