I'm actually more shocked knowing that they drop plain text if there is a mime-encoded part (e.g. HTML). Just verified that all mails imported from GMail and all newer mails I received in PM only have the HTML part now, while GMail shows both HTML and plain text parts in message source. Great, now if I want to use a text-only client to read those mails in the future, I won't be able to.

Now I honestly wonder, how did they think this is something okay to mess up? Is there just no usable email hosting service for someone that want their mails not touched and also stored securely? Like, this is not even going to save storage space for PM - I'm paying for my storage.

Office365 does the exact same thing. I think to the majors once email crosses into their systems it becomes an object of their own that is no longer an email as such. They may partially reconstruct it for you as a courtesy...for now.

I'm speculating but this has the smell of enshittification. Somehow this is saving them money while making the product worse, and they're hoping not enough customers notice to matter.
