Take a look into the view menu -> Message Body as.. Here "plain text" should be activated.

After doing an apt-get update i had some more thunderbird packages available called for example "thunderbird-3.0" or "thunderbird-3.0-gnome-support". If one installs the tb3 package via aptitude it will overwrite his links for example /usr/bin/thunderbird .. but I think it woun't replace your /opt/thunderbird folder. This is also a problem as fahr as update manager is concerned: this app will also replace your linkss if updattes for tb are installed via it. I would suggest to use the tb and ff from the repo instead of installing manually to /opt/thunderbird. But this is just my opinion, because I repeadedly had to restore the links ..
