There are several situations where this can occur.  If any of the message 
recipients is either configured in the address book as "prefers plain text", or 
if the recipient is in a domain listed as plain-text only (Tools | Options | 
Composition | Send Options) -- OR, (bug 257686) if the recipient is not in the 
address book -- HTML mail will be converted to plain text.  It does not prompt 
to warn you -- see bug 246758.

If the recipient's mail preference is listed as "Unknown" in the address book, 
then the mail may still be converted silently -- this depends on the setting in 
Send Options.

=> Invalid.  If you believe you have a case where such a conversion is occurring 
other than those listed above, feel free to reopen, and provide details for 
reproducing the problem.
