Hello,

Another advantage of plain-text viewing is that you can see the "real"
url of links within a mail.

In an html message there might be a simple looking link such as:
www.somecompany.com, which seems quite anonymous. But looking at the
message source it might actually point to
www.somecompany.com/+"lots_of_highly_identifiable_information", or
worse; there's no reason that the link would even be for the domain that
somecompany.com.

No such trickery in plain text.

That said, I'm very glad to see HTML support in TheBat, as there are
more and more (legitimate) people (i.e. money paying clients) that
insist on some level of HTML capability. And, let's face it, it can
look quite nice if it's used with restraint. Not every HTML e-mail is
43MBytes, kaleidoscopically coloured, with 11 different font sizes
(including the inevitable comic sans) and has a few 5MB cat photos
embedded for good luck ;-)
