Email sent to your Zendesk instance has two parts that can be used for creating the ticket: the plain text part and the HTML part.
By default, Zendesk uses the HTML part of the email to create tickets and comments. This means that any rich content in emails is retained and displayed in tickets. Rich content includes full color, basic formatting options, such as bold, italic, and underline, code blocks, tables, and inline images. Special fonts and background images are not supported and do not appear in tickets.
You can disable the rich content option if you want to use the plain text version of incoming emails (which has no formatting) to create tickets instead.
- In Admin Center, click the Channels icon (
) in the sidebar, then select Talk and email > Email.
- Beside Rich content in email, click Enable to deselect the option.
This option should be selected by default, and you need to deselect the option to disable it.
- Click Save.
- In Admin Center, click the Channels icon (
) in the sidebar, then select Talk and email > Email.
- Beside Rich content in email, make sure the Enable option is selected.
- Click Save.

Do we have same setting for Sideconversations? The side conversations are not retainign the Rich content and the email looks wacky.
I have created a ticket to have closer look into your question. I will be contacting you very soon.
I have disabled rich content but the emails are still coming up not as plain text, have attached an example
For your request, it's better to investigate with a Support ticket. I've opened one on your behalf, you should have received an email about it.
