Yes. But the formatting is not supposed to remain. It's just for displaying it on the screen. I just want to edit plain text in a more comfortable environment, and still keep them as old plain text.
As far as I know, only LibreOffice can do both (serif and double-spaced plain text), even if not automatically upon opening a file. It's not saving but just opening with a particular style.
