Handling encoded mail messages

Hi.
I use 9.50 beta (Build 9841) on Windows XP.
I don't really know if it is an issue of 9.5, but anyway: I've enabled  
"Display->Prefer Plain Text" in M2 - it works just fine, but when I
 
recieve base64-encoded HTML-message - it shows as HTML message, not the  
Plain Text message.
So this option is not working on base64-encoded HTML-messages?

The option only makes a difference when the message is multi-part and  
contains both an HTML and a text part. Does the message you have problems  
with contain a plain text part? Use the context menu to activate the 'raw  
message' view.

Hi. The message I have has the header with: Content-Transfer-Encoding:  
base64, and the body is encoded string - something like this:  
PGRpd9Ijk4JSIgYm9yZGVyPSIwIiBjZWxscGFkZGluZz0iMCIgY2VsbHNwYWNpbmc9IjAiPg0KIDx0cj
.......
As you said - I should not have plain text view in this case.
Thanks for explanations.
