Not true, if you send text it will not be encoded, that would be a waste
and except in the worst programs it is not done. Furthermore, if you
want to be certain it is ascii and not encoded, then send it as part of
the message text, not as an attachment.

If you do send it encoded the the decode will recover it and it will
still be an ascii file.

The problem lies elswhere.
