        Hi,
it sounds known, I even think there was done some investigation around 
it, but I do not recall any detail, neither can find a bug report for 
it. It's possible it was discussed in a mailing list or I just chose 
wrong search terms. Unfortunately, I also do not recall any resolution 
for this.

What I can tell, then evolution-ews (I suppose you use it, even you 
didn't tell it, neither its version) doesn't use TNEF or anything, it 
simply sends what user wanted to send, that means either only the 
plain text part or plain+html parts. From that I'd believe the setting 
is on the server side.

I do not think that the received message is shown as plain text due to 
the recipient's client setting to show only plain text parts.
        Bye,
