To send an email without including HTML in Laravel, you can use the from() and text() methods provided by the Laravel Mail facade. Here's an example of how you can send a plain text email in Laravel:

use IlluminateSupportFacadesMail;
use AppMailPlainEmail;

$data = [
    'name' => 'John Doe',
    'message' => 'This is a plain text email message.'
];

Mail::to('recipient@example.com')->send(new PlainEmail($data));

In this example, we are sending a plain text email using a Mailable class named PlainEmail. Here is how the PlainEmail Mailable class may look like:

namespace AppMail;

use IlluminateBusQueueable;
use IlluminateMailMailable;
use IlluminateQueueSerializesModels;

class PlainEmail extends Mailable
{
    use Queueable, SerializesModels;

    public $data;

    public function __construct($data)
    {
        $this->data = $data;
    }

    public function build()
    {
        return $this->from('your-email@example.com')
                    ->text('emails.plain') // Blade file for plain text content
                    ->with(['data' => $this->data]);
    }
}

In the PlainEmail class, we specify that the email should be sent as plain text using the text() method. You can provide the content for the plain text email in a blade file specified in the text() method. In this example, we used 'emails.plain' as the blade file for the plain text content.

Make sure to create a blade file named plain.blade.php in the resources/views/emails directory with the content of the plain text email message:

Name: {{ $data['name'] }}
Message: {{ $data['message'] }}

By following these steps, you can send plain text emails in Laravel without including HTML.
