If you set it to Plain Text it will display a plain text message as is, and transparently convert a HTML message to a plain text message. This will display a HTML or a plain text message as is. View -> Message Body As defaults to Original HTML. For example, when you reply to a message it may switch to whatever format is specified by "prefers to receive messages formatted as" in the recipients entry in address book unless you set some other preferences. One problem is that Thunderbird's behavior when replying to a message depends upon what version you use.
If you are uncertain whether a HTML message would be acceptable send a plain text message. However, some people strongly prefer to receive plain text messages. In most cases it's just a question of personal preference which format you use. HTML adds the ability to use additional formatting such as bold, italics, different fonts, tables and embedded images. At one time plain text messages were limited to 7-bit ASCII messages with plain text attachments but nowadays almost all email clients support MIME (for interoperability with Microsoft email clients etc.) so you can use other character sets, binary attachments and multi-part message bodies. You can create messages using either plain text or HTML. (Redirected from Plain text e-mail (Thunderbird))
