Description
Expected behavior
When sending an encrypted message with Mailvelope I want the encrypted text to be sent as plain text email.
Actual behavior
The text is sent as html+plain multipart if I have formatting on (which I can't use within Mailvelope anyway).
Messages sent with formatting off work fine.
Steps to reproduce
- Set up Mailvelope
- Start a new email
- Make sure formatting is already on either by account default or as a temporary override (tick the formatting option)
- Enable encryption
- Send the email
Mail app
Mail app version: v1.9.0
The solution is most likely to automatically turn off formatting when encryption is on.

Research direction
Reproduce the issue in the Mail app by enabling formatting, setting up Mailvelope encryption, and sending a message. Verify that encrypted messages are sent as plain text rather than HTML-plus-plain multipart when formatting is enabled, while messages sent with formatting off continue to work.
