Unfortunately, Gmail has recently moved away from the explicit toggle and now only has that "Remove formatting" command, which will remove any existing formatting from the draft but won't necessarily prevent it from accidentally slipping back in. -- https://mail.python.org/mailman/listinfo/python-list
