You already found the correct chapter in the documentation but probably it's
not straight forward enough. Maybe you can express it more precisely?

<cite>
In order to configure the rendering f your newsletter pages in plain text,
include static template “Direct Mail Plain Text” on the TS Template
applicable to the pages. This static template contains a pre-defined
template for plain text content rendering and makes it accessible as page
type 99. You may thereafter configure the template to your needs in the
template.
</cite> [1]

1) Install static template "Direct Mail Plain Text"
2) Append "&type=99" to the URL to take a look at the plain text version of
the newsletter page.

Some problems using direct mail with templavoila were reported before.
Search the archives. [2]
