Yes, this has not been an option for a long time. The original idea was 
that receiving email clients could, when possible, just convert Markdown 
to HTML when needed for display, but this has all kinds of unresolved 
issues and would only work well when both sending and receiving email 
client was MailMate itself.

For now, you only have the option of disabling the use of Markdown. This 
should prevent the generation of HTML if it's not needed for other 
reasons (like embedding replied HTML).

You are welcome to describe your use case(s).
