Problem in sharing note to computer via email

I shared a note to myself from the Notes app by email. A [filename].vnt file was attached, where [filename] is the beginning of the note text.

However, when I received the mail on my mac, the attachment is a share_J11475.vcf. By default, OS X opens it in the Contacts app, but it says that no importable contacts where found. When looking at the contents of the file, it starts with BEGIN:VNOTE, so I guess it is a vnt file. The body part begins

BODY;CHARSET=UTF-8;ENCODING=BASE64:WW91IHNob3VsZCBrbm93...

The note text is not there in plain text so I could copy it.

Firstly, I wonder why the attachment is in a different format?

Secondly, I wouldn't know what to do with a vnt file on my computer, so I think there should be an option to share the note as plain text or rtf.

Sharing from Notes as .vnt doesn't work; please add plain text support

Update: Still no option to share as plain text in 1.1.0.38. I wonder why, as the Notes app doesn't do anything fancy with the text and the Jolla isn't even able to open .vnt files itself.
