Yes. "Just text" doesn't mean much; text or binary, it's all 1's and 0's in the end. The important thing is the amount of 1's and 0's going around. HTML versions of files are, in my experience, about 3x the size of the text version. This would be less of an issue if that was to actually add any value, but in the case of most people it's just used to send text without any formatting anyway, or text formatted in ways they think is "pretty" but that makes it unreadable.
