I don't understand all this fuss about html email. On thunderbird I
just choose "View >> Message Body as >> Plain Text". I think that
corresponds to this variable in the config editor,
"mailnews.display.prefer_plaintext;true". That strips out all html and
displays the email in plain text, monospaced font. (On Gmail its even
easier, just turn off rich text formatting!)

Doesn't the above work for others? Or am I misunderstanding something?
