I think it’d be a nice addition to Emails to do either of these two things:

- Automatically generate the Plain-Text version of the email on save, and regenerate it on subsequent saves
- OR detect if the Plain-Text version is not empty (meaning the editor wants it and has generated it), if not empty, go ahead and automatically regenerate it on save.

It’s just too easy to forget to regenerate it everytime one makes a change.
