By that I mean that the messages had MULTIPLE fonts, MULTIPLE colors, MULTIPLE styles, and formatting like lists and indents, etc.  None of which I expect once the formatting is stripped out.

If so, is there some configuration option that somehow overrides it?  If there is, that seems like a mistake, since the plain text viewer should ALWAYS be a plain text viewer, for security and stability if no other reason.

I confirm no effect in 11.4.2.1 either.
