I actually didn't know about the option in the drop down menu in the Web-UI, although that wouldn't have been particularly relevant in this case as I was replying from my phone. What's really annoying in that case is that the 'Reply Inline' option makes things _look_ like they're plain text, but they really aren't.On Wed, Oct 21, 2015 at 2:07 PM, Austin S Hemmelgarn <ahferro...@gmail.com> wrote:And I realize of course right after sending this that my other reply didn't get through because GMail refuses to send mail in plain text, no matter how hard I beat it over the head...In the web browser version, to the right of the trash can for an email being written, there is an arrow with a drop down menu that includes "plain text mode" option which will work. This is often sticky, but randomly with the btrfs list the replies won't have this option checked and then they bounce. It's annoying. And then both the Gmail and Inbox Android apps have no such option so it's not possible reply to list emails from a mobile device short of changing mail clients just for this purpose.
I've considered getting a different mail app, but for some reason the only one I can find for Android that supports plain text e-mail is K-9 Mail, and I'm not too fond of the UI for that, and it takes way more effort to set up than I'm willing to put in for something I almost never use anyway (that and it doesn't (AFAICT) support S/MIME or Hashcash, although GMail doesn't either, so that one's not a show stopper).
