The email point wasnt about the email being plain text as much as them sending his chosen password in plain text, which means they store it in plain text...
They may or may not store his password as plain text. It's possible that the e-mail was generated dynamically when he entered his password in some form, while the password was in memory. They still might have used some kind of hash for permanent storage.
