Plain text -- fixed-length lines, about 70-80 characters -- usually is 
not displayed correctly on a phone, whose screen is narrower than that.

You could turn the phone sideways, and hope that the mail reader 
rotates with it.  Some do, some don't.

text/plain format=flowed (RFC 3676) can be automatically word-wrapped 
to fit the screen, if the mail reader knows to do that.  (Both this 
message and void's message that it replies to, are text/plain format=flowed.)

I hear that Gmail's app for Android does not either understand flowed 
text or rotate.  I hear that Apple's iPhone mail reader does both.
