This still helps a lot because most users will be able to cut and
paste.  If the message content-type is "text/plain", I think this is
an excellent approach.

Note that the plain digest format is a very old standard (RFCs 934,
1153), and should be implemented by MUAs.  Unfortunately there's not
much you can do if they don't (Gmail is especially cantankerous about
requests to fix its insane behavior).  OTOH, it's not clear to me why
you would want to use plain (RFC 934) digests nowadays.
