Sending your password in plain text in email doesn't mean it's stored in plain text; it could be copied from memory into the email before being discarded at the end of execution of the initial request.

If you ever find a service that is stupid enough to send password by email, but smart enough to store it hashed, please let me know.

Also, you missed a part of my comment where I said that they sent passwords by email when you clicked "I forgot password".
