the logic of returning text/plain based content has been moved to a new formatter #868 which is not yet checked in i think...

@harshgMSFT - Did we put it in the formatting without the text/plain formatter?

[yishaigalatzer]

please fix this immediately so this makes it into the current milestone

[harshgMSFT]

@balachir this should be fixed now .. can you please verify and close?

[balachir]

Verified that this is fixed with VS CTP3 build.
