Option to Text Only Emails

We would like to have the option to send text-only emails as a blast, due to issues with deliverability with HTML, as well as to make an email look more authentically like a sales email. I'm aware that this would effect our ability to see opens in reporting, but it would still be good to have this option.

I specifically need this for email alerts that are logged into a ticketing system. Tracking open rates, et al are not required for this particular implementation.

We need text-only emails specifically for our Japanese division where text-only emails are the norm. "Subscribing."

Does anyone from Marketo have an update on this? This seems like it should have been part of the original design.

@Dan S - you are not alone, we are new to Marketo as well and I feel as though I spend way too much time voting for stuff that should be here already.

I have to go back to my old system (Vertical Response) in order to send a text only email - very disappointed that Marketo does not allow this - and I hope the status,  Maybe One Day, will change to Real Soon!

Our use-case is slightly different: we have custom fields which contain line breaks that get removed entirely by HTML. It makes for some ugly, almost undiscernable internal alert emails. Text-only emails would fix this problem.

Any updates, Marketo?
