You have to change it "manually".  Code snippet goes something like
this:

   action_external_filter($entity, "html2text blah blah...");
   $entity->effective_type("text/plain");
   $entity->head->mime_attr("Content-Type" => "text/plain");

Unfortunately, you have to become fairly familiar with the MIME::Entity
and MIME::Head man pages.
