I would actually be surprised if this is related to updates, I'm not aware of 
anything which would overwrite the setting. The only thing that comes to my 
mind are the .rc files for the user interface definitions, which get updated 
nearly every release, they just might trigger showing the HTML toolbar again.

If you turn off the HTML toolbar or uncheck Options->Formatting, the mails 
will be sent in plain text instead.

Since many users seem to have this problems, I introduced a change in the 
behavior in trunk some weeks ago: Now HTML mails are only sent when you 
explicitly use HTML formatting, just showing the toolbar is not enough. I hope 
that will stop these problems.

Regards,
Thomas
