Title:
  switch between html and plain text when creating a new message

Status in “thunderbird” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: thunderbird

  The current policy for choosing the format of a new message doesn't
  match my need at all.

  Wether my recipient prefers HTML or plain text depends on the content
  I'm sending. I can't choose a generic rule.

  I would prefer:
  1. default rule is plain text format (or HTML if prefered)
  2. when clicking on "create a new message" we could also select the below alternatives:
    . "create a new HTML message" 
    . "create a new plain text message"
  3. possibly change the format while writing the message because you may think about the format after writing the message.

  Step 3 is a wish.

  Step 2 is mandatory for any email client.
