This is plain text as opposed to marked up text. "Running text" would
usually exclude things like footnotes, but in something like a mail,
The foo draft [1] contradicts the bar draft [2].
[1] <http://www.example.org/example-org-drafts/
foo>
[2] <http://www.example.org/example-org-drafts/
bar>
would have the addresses in footnotes, not running text, even though
the thing as a whole is plain text when using Content-Type: text/plain.
