I occasionally write quick replies while on my phone, and the f*cking android gmail app cannot do plain-text mode. There are open bug tickets about it: https://code.google.com/p/android/issues/detail?id=8712 and I've talked in private to my google contacts too, but some ass-wipe inside the android team thinks that html-only mail is the right thing to do. The sad part is that there is absolutely no *technical* reason for it, since the gmail android app actually generates a multipart/alternative email where the first part is perfectly fine text, properly wrapped and everything. So the code to generate the email in proper format is actually there, it's just that there is no setting to say "don't generate the other parts". It's literally one added setting, and probably a few lines of code to test it and not generate the html part. So there's some internal politics going on, probably one or two internal people who are just ass-hats and are lying to their managers about how hard it is to do. Don't ask me why. Some people just want to watch the world burn. And no, don't tell me about the other mailers. I've tried many of them. They tend to be badly integrated or have their own crazy issues. I'm not willing to read email over imap any more. The one big feature of gmail is how you can search for things sanely on the server side, and despite the imap server-side searching technically being a feature, I've never met any server and MUA that does it reasonably. Gmail does, but sadly the android app has this one big glaring fault. Which is sad, because in other ways the android gmail app is actually quite good these days (that didn't use to be true, but they've fixed much bigger problems over the years). Feel free to pester the android people, *especially* if you know somebody inside the gmail app team. Call them out on the bullshit if somebody says "that's hard". Sadly, the features they *have* added seem to be about things big companies asked for, not trivial technical improvements.
