My setting is plain text and HTML, but the message appears in plain

What you see depends on the setting under View->Message Body As. These
options are available:

Original HTML
Simple HTML
Plain Text

Yes and no. SM does remember if I choose an option for a particular message, but it doesn't apply that setting globally.

Your plain-text message was initially displayed as "Original HTML," but I can choose "Plain Text" if I want. There's nothing in your message content or coding that would tell SM to choose "Original HTML," the way a charset specification would tell it which language setting to use, so its choice here seems random.

Looking at another message in my mailbox, which specifies "Content-Type: multipart/alternative; boundary=...," I see that SM chose "Original HTML," which is half-right. It could just as easily have chosen "Original Plain Text," if that were an option, because the message contains both versions. In fact, I sent it as plain text and the listserv added the HTML version.

So apparently SM uses "Original HTML" unless the user manually changes the setting for a particular message. It doesn't analyze the message content and make a choice.
