Plain text vs. HTML notifications?

Added language to explain how LJ::NotificationMethod::Email generates both.

Nice work! It's good to dispel some of the scariness of ESN :)

For developers, how about adding a section for /admin/eventoutput? That lets you see the potential output of a command, without having to run workers, which is useful for small tweaks and for making sure that HTML doesn't sneak into plaintext notifications.
