I actually didn't know about the option in the drop down menu in the Web-UI, although that wouldn't have been particularly relevant in this case as I was replying from my phone. What's really annoying in that case is that the 'Reply Inline' option makes things _look_ like they're plain text, but they really aren't. I've considered getting a different mail app, but for some reason the only one I can find for Android that supports plain text e-mail is K-9 Mail, and I'm not too fond of the UI for that, and it takes way more effort to set up than I'm willing to put in for something I almost never use anyway (that and it doesn't (AFAICT) support S/MIME or Hashcash, although GMail doesn't either, so that one's not a show stopper).
