How to receive email messages in plain text format in Graph Explore

Is it possible in Graph Explorer to convert to text format when get messages?

It is explained that if you set "Prefer: outlook.body-content-type=text" in the request header, you can get it in text format, but it is in a state where you can only get it in HTML format.

My goal is to use Java's SDK to get email messages in plain text, but I'm afraid the HTTP functionality isn't working.

This is a note set in the request header.
【Key】:【Value】　　　　　　　　　　　　【Results】
Prefer:outlook.body-content-type：text　→　Bad Request - 400
prefer:outlook.body-content-type：text　→　Bad Request - 400
Prefer：text　　　　　　　　　　　　 　→　Response preview："contentType": "html"、Java：requestOptions.add(new HeaderOption("Prefer", "text"));
prefer：text 　　　　　　　　　　　　　→　Response preview："contentType": "html"、Java：requestOptions.add(new HeaderOption("prefer", "text"));
outlook.body-content-type：text　 　　 →　Response preview："contentType": "html"、Java：requestOptions.add(new HeaderOption("outlook.body-content-type", "text"));

Is it a problem only for Graph Explorer that it can not be obtained in text format?
