It's up to the user to decide whether he wants to make it the default
or not. I say, the downloaded version fresh out of the box should have
plain-text email as default - but do not disallow to change that.

Don't use it if you don't want to (I won't). But don't suggest to
nanny the user, TB is not big enough for that. If you are against
default HTML mail, write to Microsoft� about their OE/OL products, and
ask them to make plain-text the default, instead of of HTML. Or, even
better, write to AOL�, who in their latest software do not even allow
plain-text! All you can do is write HTML mails. Now, that is "evil"
(to use one of Steve Gibson's favourite terms).

This is one of the truest taglines I've read in a while. ;-)
