The facility to have it set to default really gets to me. 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.

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).
