Simone, your understanding is right. TB's UI/logic/behaviour is wrong.

I was expecting HTML. Correct expectation.

Iow, the "When sending..." setting only applies to recipients whose preference is "unknown" or several recipients with different preferences. Odd. Not what it says on the label. > which I think is a bit unexpected. If it is the intended behaviour, maybe the phrasing should be improved? Absolutely.
