It's the little things; password reset email in plain text

I had occasion to reset my password recently. The reset email comes in plain text. Not HTML, not a vast mass of quoted-unprintable, not multipart/alternative. I'm a Unix greybeard and this sparks joy.
(With apologies to everyone reading this who has no idea what I'm on about...)

I agree. Wube appears to be a very good software company in a multitude of ways.

Every time I have to deal with bad commercial software I am mentally comparing their laziness, bloatware, and carelessness against Wube.

Love that. All the internet need is plain text and json files. Everything else is bloat.

From the title I thought you meant a new password was sent as "plaintext", meaning unencrypted. That is very bad practice.
