Ah. I think the difference is that when I send emails, I do so to communicate information, rather than to elicit people to buy a product.

Are you relying on the user's email client to convert plaintext URIs into interactive hyperlinks in transactional mail?

No. As I said, I'm not advocating for plain text only emails, just simple ones.
