Any formatting done to the content will be lost. The message will be sent as a plain text message. When you select Plain Text for composing mail, any images inserted and all formatting done to the signatures will also be removed when sending mail.

You need to select Rich Text to switch back to Rich text mode, but the formatting will not be reverted.
