Thunderbird - Send in TEXT only (All the time)

I use Thunderbird. Everytime I send an email to someone I click
"SEND" and it asks me if I want to send it as Text, or Html. Is there
a way to permanently set this to send as TEXT always? I never send
html email and never will. Whatever html is included in replies from
the sender I want to kill anyhow, for virus prevention. I can not
find any setting to set this to text for ALL email. Does this exist?

Thanks

First, you want to configure Thunderbird to *compose* the message in
plain text and not in HTML. This is a per-account setting. Go to

Tools >> Account Settings >> (*select account*) >> Composition and Addressing

and make sure "Compose messages in HTML format" is not checked.


Second, for cases where you still happen to use the HTML composition
window and not the plain text composition window (such as replying
to HTML messages), go to

Tools >> Options >> Composition >> General

click the "Send Options" button, and for "Text" format select
"Convert the message to plain text".

I have assumes you are asking about

(1) The latest version of Thunderbird
(2) Thunderbird on MS-Windows, not Thunderbird on another OS where
the menus will have differences. See

Thanks, that fixed the problem, and I also got the "my reply" to start
at the top, so I dont have to keep scrolling to the top. Works great
now. Thanks

And, yes, this is for Windows and one of the latest versions (for
Win98se).

*[Windows 98 is newer than Windows 7 because 98 comes AFTER 7]*

I noticed you highlighted
X-Newsreader: Forte Agent 2.0/32.652

I dont use Thunderbird for newsgroups, only for email. I like Agent
better for newsgroups and have been using it for almost 20 years. Why
change now !!!!
