One oddity I've noticed is that Germans seem to like their emails in plain text, and without any attachments: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15226022

I've corresponded with others, also German, and they had the same preferences, even if not as explicitly stated as the examples in my other comment there.

We used to have our German newsletter available in plain text and styled. The vast majority of people chose the styled version. Not even 1 % picked text. No dark patterns involved, a simple radiobox. We do not offer the text version anymore.
