People might not read your email, if there was a big piece of unformatted text.

Answer

Hi Fann, 
The first version, putting the condition in present tense, is correct.

But also, the more natural collocation is “a big bloc of unformatted text”.  Finally, the sentence does not need a comma to separate the clauses.
