You  can use a Folder template - doing so is dangerous as it overrides
other templates, but here it is from the (antiquated) help file

SETEDITOR="n"
 Sets the current editor mode

Possible values for n:

1 - Plain text Microed

2 - Plain text Windows editor

3 - HTML / Plain

4 - HTML only

Perhaps someone can come up with a better answer
