The preview window shows you what MailMate would show if receiving the 
email. This is always HTML since MailMate uses an HTML view to show 
messages. In other words, even plain text messages are converted to 
HTML. You can use ⌥⌘U to see the raw message (to see exactly what is 
generated). Alternatively, use “View ▸ Message Body Parts” to see 
if more than plain text is available.

If you use the “Plain Text” option then HTML is *only* generated if 
MailMate has embedded HTML (as part of replying/forwarding some types of 
HTML email). Or if you have enabled in the Composer preferences pane 
that MailMate should always generate HTML in order to be able to style 
the outgoing message.
