Perhaps an easier approach is to use the Plain Text version in a reply
if it exists, or at least make it an option. (I understand that some
plain text versions are useless in that they just say "use html".)

Even if I switch to the plain text version, replying uses the HTML
version. Or rather the default display version is always used, not what
is currently being displayed.

How about instead of just a "Lose formatting" button you have two
buttons "Convert HTML" and "Use Plain Text version" (with the latter
greyed our if no version present).
