[MlMt] Different text content in plain text and HTML part

[Eric Sharakan]

Hi, I'm not sure there's much Benny can do about this.  For better or 
for worse, this is how Markdown works.  See 
https://www.markdownguide.org/basic-syntax/#ordered-lists.

I can see two options:

- select "Plain text" instead of "Markdown" in the toolbar above the 
headers in the composer pane.
- escape the period with a backslash, like so:

unescaped:

11. December
24. December

escaped:

11\. December
24\. December

(select "View->Show Raw Message") to see how I did that.
