However, some recipients have that feature disabled i.e. they receive messages as plain text. That's a security feature to prevent malformed HTML e-mails from attempting to exploit the e-mail client's HTML rendering engine.

You are correct. It would be easier for me to do the PDF attachment. But somehow I think the users would prefer to see this in the body of email. But rather than speculate, I will ask one or two customers what would be the preferred approach.
Thank you.
