Hi all,

It seems that there are many clueless people who could never write a web page but seem to feel more than qualified to send html mail.  I am tired of squinting at itty bitty fonts that are rendered by Thunderbird whenever it displays html email.  (List denizens, please note: html mail gets an instant delete here; you will receive no help from me.)

Does anybody know how to make Thunderbird display only the text/plain portion of multipart email?

I've set up a filter to delete email with the header "Content-Type: text/html" but that only catches some of it.

A hearty toast to whomever can solve this one.

Maybe:

view -> message body as -> plain text
 
And that bad news for us is those clueless people are developers that develop email programs and really don't have a clue what they are doing, but certainly think they do.
