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,
Milan
