I can confirm the OP's situation, it does not seem possible to specify
that your reply email to an email with HTML be in plain text. I'm using
'Prefer Plain' myself, and I resort to copy-pasting the contents of the
mail into a newly composed mail. In my case, the combination of a dark
theme with white words and users who email me with white backgrounds
makes some of my replies 'typing blind'.
