Hugely agree with markdown.

99% of the time people want bullet points, headers, maybe a table or two. Using a word processor is very overkill and actually makes the simple stuff more arduous.

Markdown is the best too because:

1. Sending as plaintext is so convenient and it looks pretty decent

2. Most software (gitlab, jira, etc) accept markdown input so you can just copy-paste
