I'm afraid it doesn't.  That was the first thing I looked for.

I've not found any setting in gmail that permits me to turn off HTML. 
I'm interested, though: what mail reader made in the past decade
doesn't cope with HTML?  (I'm not trying to be snarky -- I'm genuinely
intrigued that there's anything like that in use anymore.)  I'll try
something here, but I'm not sure it's going to work.
