One of mechanism enabled by setting $prevent_xss to true is 'blob_plain'

Instead of serving text/* type files, except text/plain (and including
text/html), as attachements, downgrade it to text/plain.  This way HTML
pages in 'blob_plain' (raw) wiew would be displayed in browser, but
A new typo "wiew" is introduced without touching other parts of the
message. Curious...
