If you select "Rich Formatting >>" it persists as your default until you 
select "<< Plain Text" again (which seems to be the default - I checked 
on a spare Gmail account). I'd like to see it in the Settings as a 
formal preference as that's not exactly the behaviour I would have 
expected, but I can see that the Google guys are aiming for elegant 
simplicity.
