> A good example is a newsletter from say, Quora or Medium; Newsletters usually have links to a story or a news feed article. If this was done using plain text, the link would be one long mashup of characters, because they usually include an authentication token or something like that. In this case, using an html link or button is clearly the better option.

Well, that's a yet more hostile thing that one has to put up with. I follow news through newsletters, and I'd prefer they were in plain text and with normal links. My reader knows how to wrap lines and make link-like things in plain text clickable. But unfortunately if I wanted to enforce that I'd have to avoid news...

Yah,consequently. But last week someone posted a link here, a text only version of CNN, I looked it up, here it is; http://lite.cnn.io/en. We could have more of these soon, which is a good thing.
