HTML to Plain Text Email Converter

Takes HTML email body and produces the plain-text alternative version. Properly preserves paragraphs, links (as 'text (url)' notation), and lists.

Plain text version
Hi {first_name},

Quick question about your team's outbound — can I send you the new Outsolvi guide (https://outsolvi.com)?

Thanks,
Nate
What it does

Strips HTML tags, converts <a> to 'text (url)', converts <p> to double newline, converts <li> to '- '. Output is ready to paste into the plain-text alternative of a multipart MIME message.

When to use

Authoring multipart/alternative emails where the plain-text version needs to be hand-written or auto-generated alongside the HTML.

FAQ

Why include a plain-text alternative?+

Some mail clients render plain-text by default. Email gateways often score lower-spam on multipart messages than HTML-only. Plain-text alternative is best practice for cold outreach.

Record generated. Now make sure it actually passes on real sends.

A correct DNS record on paper still fails 12% of the time at the receiver. Outsolvi watches every send and flags auth failures, opens that look like proxies, and bounces in real time. From $7/user/mo yearly.

Nate built Outsolvi after watching every email-tracking tool he had ever used lie to him about opens. Outsolvi runs Tier 1 to 5 confidence scoring on every open, native in Outlook and Gmail, so the number on the dashboard is one a rep can actually act on.
