The flow of pasting such strings is not great either. Previously you could paste a string with backticks and it would be formatted correctly on send.

Now the behaviour is to ask you every time to apply formatting. There is an option for "don't ask again" which I tried assuming it would make autoformatting the default, but it turns off the behaviour completely with no way to get it back!

`CMD + Shift + F` applies formatting.

Unfortunately it must be done every time, no autoformatting by default it seems.
