I sent a rich text email to myself. Now I'm replying to you, and it appears
to still be in rich text mode.

In further experiments in plain text mode (i.e. after having sent a plain
text email to myself), I discovered that the mode it chooses when replying
to a rich text message is in fact variable -- and random for all I can
tell. Clearly it's using some criteria to pick the mode -- content,
recipients, my usage history, who knows. I give up. ;)
