It looks like the IOS mail client will convert an email automatically to rich 
text / html when a URL is pasted into the message.

This is a fairly new feature I think -- 

anyway, there is no way to ever turn it off that I can see, nor is there a 
warning it will do so. 

Someone would have to see the icon for the URL website appear and make an 
educated guess that the message has been converted.


So the options would seem to be:

1. don't ever use an IOS device on an email list where someone has a strong 
aversion to rich text emails (like here)
2. broaden out the expectations for 2024 and accept that rich text emails are 
pretty much everywhere now and just accept them as a fact of life


I will go with #1, and no longer use an IOS device to communicate here.
