Try using eplain:

\input eplain
\input eplain
\input ifxetex.sty
\ifxetex
   \beginpackages
     \usepackage[xetex]{color}
   \endpackages
   \enablehyperlinks[dvipdfm]
\else
\ifpdf
   \beginpackages
     \usepackage[pdftex]{color}
   \endpackages
   \enablehyperlinks[pdftex]
\else
   \beginpackages
     \usepackage[dvips]{color}
   \endpackages
   \enablehyperlinks[hypertex]
\fi
\fi
\ifxetex
   \hlopts{bwidth=0,colormodel=,color=magenta}
\else
\ifpdf
   \hlopts{bwidth=0,colormodel=,color=magenta}
\else
   \hlopts{colormodel=,color=magenta}
\fi
\fi
This is my e-mail address \href{mailto:amunn at msu.edu}{Alan Munn}
\bye

See /Library/TeX/Documentation/texmf-dist-doc/eplain/doc/eplain.pdf,  
especially section 5. The above includes provision for three cases:

- pdfTeX as the PDF-producing engine, pdftex hyperlink driver: a  
hyperlink is created.

- XeTeX as the PDF-producing engine, dvipdfm hyperlink driver: a  
hyperlink is created.

- standard TeX with dvips + ps2pdf as the PDF-producing engine,  
hypertex hyperlink driver: no hyperlink is created (apparently owing  
to limitations of this driver).

It's certainly possible to use standard TeX with dvipdfm(x) instead  
of dvips + ps2pdf, in which case \enablehyperlnks[dvipdfm] should  
work and produce working hyperlinks. I just haven't tried, as there's  
no immediate way to do this from within TeXShop.
