Something like fundamental mode? Or when you cat the file? If the former, all I can suggest is to enable org-mode in the buffer. If the latter, try exporting to ascii. In any case, such an option would require major changes to the code, I believe. It's unlikely to be implemented. Nick PS My opinion only, and bear in mind I'm not a maintainer.
